Hole in one! Woman, 84, sinks putt across basketball court to win Nissan sedan
- Mary Ann Wakfield drove away in a brand new 2020 Nissan Altima after taking a nearly unbelievable shot at a make-shift golf hole 94 feet away.
All that 84-year-old Mary Ann Wakfield needed to do to win a new car was sink a putt across the entire length of the court at the University of Mississippi's basketball stadium.
Wakfield did just that during a promotional segment at Saturday's game between Ole Miss men's basketball team and Alabama. The golf ball she struck rolled 94 feet (28.6 meters) from one end line to the other before dropping into a flag-marked hole.

The crowed erupted into applause as Wakfield flashed an astonished grin and clapped a hand over her head.
Her prize for the long-distance putt: a 2020 Nissan Altima from a local auto dealer.
Keith Carter, athletic director at Ole Miss, congratulated Wakfield by tweeting, “What an incredible moment. Enjoy your new car."
Wakfield's good fortune Saturday wasn't shared by the Ole Miss basketball team, which lost 103-78 to Alabama.
