Well, hello, Mr. McIlroy!
The Northern Irishman canned a hole-in-one during the first round of the 2023 Travelers Championship on Thursday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
McIlroy opened his round with a par at No. 1, a birdie at No. 2, then played his next five holes 1 over.
But, on the 214-yard par-3 eighth, McIlroy made an ace with a 5-iron to turn his entire day around.
Through seven holes, McIlroy was tied for 137th in Strokes Gained: Putting, so taking the flat stick out of play might have been the right call.
His playing partners Tom Kim and Viktor Hovland loved it.
