Jakarta, November 2, 2024 – Habitat for Humanity Indonesia is delighted to announce that two incredible Hole-in-One shots at the BNI Indonesian Masters 2024 have resulted in the donation of three homes for Indonesian families in need.
Renowned golfer Bubba Watson made a splash at the tournament with a perfect shot on the 154-yard par-3 11th hole using a pitching wedge. Inspired by this phenomenal achievement, Watson generously donated an additional house to an Indonesian family through Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, bringing the total to two homes.
Shortly after Bubba’s historic shot, Phachara Khongwatmai also made waves by acing the 11th hole with a 48-degree wedge. This second Hole-in-One further amplified the charitable impact, resulting in another house being donated to an Indonesian family in need.
Earlier, the golfers participating in the BNI Indonesian Masters 2024 also took part in The Keepie Uppie Challenge. In this challenge, 16 golfers successfully juggled a ball, raising a total donation of IDR 80,000,000 (IDR 5 million for each pass).
