Rory McIlroy Drills Ace at Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Second Hole-in-One of Career
Rory McIlroy’s time at the new TGL has paid off early. Just days after competing in the joint simulator league in Jupiter, Florida, McIlroy hit an ace at Spyglass Golf Course at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Thursday. On the par-three 15th, McIlroy took a wedge from 119 yards out and hit a dart right at the hole, dunking the ball into the hole without a bounce.
This is the second hole-in-one of McIlroy’s career, with his first coming in 2023 at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. The four-time major champion is currently ranked third in the world, behind Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.
McIlroy’s ace got him to three-under through six on the day, marking a nice start to the new PGA season. He is hoping for better fortunes this year than last, when he owned the U.S. Open lead late in the tournament but ultimately came up short.
