'I feel like I'm in a dream'

Kim Chi made a hole in one at the 4th hole, a par 3, with a length of 148 yards (about 135 meters). She used a pitching wedge, creating a beautiful curve before the ball hit the ground and rolled into the hole.

" My emotions are hard to describe after seeing the ball roll into the hole. I was both happy and elated as if I was in a dream. It was a shot from 148 yards, the wind was slightly down from the right. I used a pitching club, and the ball flew quite high. Looking at the direction of the ball, I thought it would just hug the flag, but unexpectedly the ball fell down, rolled a few times and went into the hole ," Kim Chi emotionally shared.

With this achievement, Kim Chi became the first athlete to score a Hole in one at this year's National Golf Championship. Previously, at the 2022 National Golf Championship at Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong, Le Chuc An and Nguyen Huy Thang both scored a Hole in one at number 17.
