Ole Miss fans go crazy as 86-year-old fan makes 94-foot putt to win a new car
Saturday wasn’t a great night for the Ole Miss basketball team or its fans, as the Rebels lost 103-78 to Alabama in Oxford.
However, fans were treated to one moment of pure excitement, though. It didn’t have anything to do with the game itself, but it was still exciting.
As you can see in the video below, an Ole Miss fan got the chance to win a new car if she made a 94-foot putt from the opposite end of the court. And, of course, she absolutely nailed it:
94 Feet? No problem.

That was about as perfect of a putt as anyone could have hoped for, and now she has a new car for her efforts.
Sadly, it didn’t spark an Ole Miss comeback, so the fans didn’t get to see the home team win on Saturday night.
Okay, she can shoot it from beyond the 3 point line but can she hit her free throws??? Nice putt Mary Ann… enjoy your new car.
Wow!! I play a ton of golf, but I would be hard pressed to make that putt the first time out. Major props to her.
I am glad Ms. Mary Ann gave Ole Miss fans something to cheer about.
That’s awesome! Her set up looked solid.
That’s some good putting, Mary Ann! Hope you love your new ride!
