There hadn’t been a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th in the Masters in four years. In Sunday’s final round at Augusta National, we saw two of them.
First, it was Irishman Shane Lowry, hitting an 8-iron to the hole.
Then, several groups later, it was U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III.
Neither player is in contention, but that’s pretty incredible, right? They’re the 16th and 17th aces recorded on the 16th in Masters competition. And this isn’t the first time two players have made a hole-in-one on 16 in the final day of the Masters. In 2010, Nathan Green and Ryan Moore both made aces on the hole.
