Arkansas man files lawsuit after golf club withdraws hole-in-one prize: 'They said we're out of luck'

Golfer Austin Clagett explains why he is suing a county club over a hole-in-one prize

An Arkansas man is suing a country club and car dealership for not being awarded a prize that was offered for sinking hole-in-one on the course's 10th tee.

The competition was billed as the "Tournament of the Century."
