Nick Sablan Jr. looks on after teeing off. Sablan hit a hole-in-one on hole #13 from 180 yards during the Saipan Chamber of Commerce 15th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament at LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort on Saturday, April 27. He used a 4 iron and saw the ball hit the fringe and pull off to the right. “It was when the monitor people started screaming that we knew it was more than an ‘OK shot,’ ” said Sablan, who won $10,000 and a 2024 Nissan Versa SR from Joeten Motors. “A feeling one can’t describe is what went through my mind,” he said. “All the years of playing and finally Mr. Luck gave me a chance, finally! To have my dad as my partner for the first time ever made this feeling even more indescribable. The greatest feeling any human being could have, I guess. I’m still trying to believe this is all real. But I’m definitely making good use of both winnings.”
