True or Made Up?

4

The only hole-in-one on a par 4 in PGA Tour history bounced off another player's putter.

On January 25, 2001, at the Phoenix Open, Andrew Magee drove the 332-yard par-4 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale. The group ahead was still on the green putting. Magee's ball ran up onto the green, bounced off Tom Byrum's putter, and dropped into the hole. It remains the only hole-in-one on a par 4 in PGA Tour history.

A hole-in-one that needed a ricochet off a stranger's putter to happen at all.
