Macular degeneration may have robbed Leo Fiyalko (right) of his sight in the last decade, but it did not stop him from golfing. And this week, he is almost as famous as Tiger Woods. The 92-year-old shot a hole-in-one in Florida despite having peripheral vision only in his right eye - making headlines across the world. The odds of a hole-in-one is about one in 10,000 for a person with normal vision. For the visually-impaired, it was unheard of. He used to have a seven handicap, but now needs help lining up shots and finding golf balls because of MD. He said modestly: "I was just trying to put the ball on the green."
