Phoenix man aces par 4 hole at TPC Scottsdale

The only par 4 ace in a PGA Tour event happened on the same hole in 2001 when Andrew Magee drove the green. His ball was redirected off the putter of Tom Byrum, who was waiting his turn to putt. There is a plaque near the 17th tee box commemorating Magee's feat.

Poulter's clothing contest

Ian Poulter, known for unique golf attire, is asking fans to choose his apparel for his opening match at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in Marana.

Poulter, who is from England, is the defending champion of the event. It was his first tournament victory in the U.S.

The "Dress Ian" Facebook campaign gives fans the chance to pick one of three outfits to wear on Wed., Feb. 23 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what fans choose for me to wear as I set out to defend my World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship title," Poulter said in a statement.

Two of the options will incorporate the colors of the University of Arizona and Arizona State.

"Ian Poulter has been an international ambassador to the game of golf and we are excited that he will be partnering with us for this unique promotion," said the tournament's executive director, Wade Dunagan. "As I attended the University of Arizona, I have a feeling I know which outfit I'll be voting for."

Poulter defeated ASU alum Paul Casey, also of England, in last year's event.

This year's match play concludes with an 18-hole final.
