Video: 86-year-old woman wins car with 94-foot putt at Ole Miss game

With the Masters now less than two months away, Tiger Woods might want to consider giving 86-year-old Mary Ann Wakefield a call for some tips on how to sink a seemingly impossible putt.

Wakefield was chosen to take part in an in-game promotional contest at Saturday’s game between Ole Miss and Alabama. The task was to sink a putt that ran the entire length of the basketball court, and the prize was a new car. You can probably guess what happened.

94 Feet? No problem.

That thing looked good from the second it left Mary Ann’s putter. Fortunately for her, the New York Knicks were not in charge of awarding her a prize. If they were, she probably would have gotten a lot less than a new car.
