You can practically hear degenerates in Las Vegas phoning home to say, “See, mom? I told you I have a real job!” But in the meantime, there's actually still a lot to bet on—and not just Russian ping-pong that a co-worker who won't be named has been “cleaning up” on.

Andrew Magee was a three-time All-American at Oklahoma and a four-time winner on the PGA Tour, but he'll forever be known for the one-time thing he did nearly two decades ago. That's because Magee's hole-in-one at the 2001 Phoenix Open remains the lone ace on a par 4 in PGA Tour history. And boy, was it a doozy.
DID YOU KNOW: There have been five holes-in-one on par 5s
As Magee tells it, he was a little ticked after making bogey on the easy par-5 15th at TPC Scottsdale, but he bounced back by draining a long birdie on the famed par-3 16th—you know, the one with all the drunk fans. Stepping to the tee on No. 17, he was still a bit steame..
