Racer Freshman Aces No. 9 Hole At Miller Memorial

Murray State freshman women's golf student-athlete Payton Carter was simply trying out new irons recently when she hit her first career hole-in-one 37561

at Miller Memorial Golf Course in Murray, Ky.

Carter, from Henderson, Ky., used a 6-iron from 165 yards and aced Miller Memorial's par-3 No. 9 hole on August 23, 2018. Her tee shot hit inside 10 feet in front of the hole and rolled in.

"I was going out to test my new irons and was only playing the first, second, eighth and ninth holes. When I got to No. 9, I hit a 6-iron and didn't know that it went in until I looked in the hole."

Carter comes to Murray State from Henderson County High School where she had a decorated prep career playing for MSU Hall of Famer Coach Jessica Grace. As a senior in 2017, Carter won the Kentucky High School Athletics Association Region-II championship and advanced to the KHSAA State Tournament.

The Racers have been going through qualifying in advance of the start of the fall season. MSU's first challenge of five events this fall is in Springfield, Missouri (Sept. 10-11) at the Payne Stewart Memorial hosted by Missouri State at Twin Oaks Country Club.
