South Korea’s Si Woo Kim has made history at this year’s Open Championship by sinking the tournament’s longest hole-in-one ever. Kim’s remarkable shot came at the 216-yard par-3 16th hole, using a 7-iron to land the ball perfectly on the green. The hole-in-one was the third of Kim’s professional career.
Despite playing below par for most of the event, Francesco Molinari made a dramatic entrance into the U.S. Open cut with a hole-in-one on his final chance, the 18th hole. This exciting moment salvaged Molinari’s chances at the championship, where he had been struggling to make an impact. The lucky ace at the Los Angeles Country Club was Molinari’s second career hole-in-one achieved on tour. For Molinari, the shot was an important swing in momentum as he looks ahead to the upcoming rounds of the major tournament.
