These are hole in ones. With one line’s good. Oh, it’s coming back. Oh, here we go. Except they keep getting farther and farther away. This just moments ago. Sam Ryder taking it. Come on. That crowd was stupid lit. But John Ha hit a hole in one so far away, he didn’t believe anyone when they told him it was a hole in one. I’m mistaken. John Ha was the guy who had the shaft that Hoblin was able to stick in his driver. Bro had the same reaction as his last name. But the next ace helped save someone’s life cuz Steuart Sink’s wife has been battling stage 4 breast cancer. And playing well in this tournament would help motivate her battle and bring everyone’s spirits up. Four yards today. Team moved up a little bit. Wedge for Stewart. Release. Release. Got it. A perfect shot for his wife and kids. But Chaz Revy let a kid touch his balls after his ace. He was so excited to hold his balls. What a wholesome moment. Grayson Murray though, he hit a hole in one. So sexy the crowd started getting lubed up to do it on. Oh, the crowd just getting lubed up here. Murray now with 17. Not a ton of pressure on him. They can take dead aim just like whoever that announcer is, he’s a legend. Nothing like a crowd getting lubed up over some balls going in holes. But the next hole in one by Michael Block could put him in the NBA cuz he straight dunked it. The fairy tale story. That’s got to be the most satisfying way to make a hole in one. But Patrick Reed’s ace made him wet. A little more encouraging, shall we say. Yes, it’s fitting this happened at the watering hole, but John Rom hit one farther, making it his career best. The play is so it is really swirly. Staring it down. Going. Come on. Epic. But Sun Kang’s ace bounced in like a kangaroo. 162. Good solid rip. And it’s a one for Kang. One day I’ll hit a shot like that. But Max H’s first career ace was balls deep. Move the tea way up. It’s 163. And Max H bouncing it into the cup. Max took that ball straight home. But Tyrell Hatton’s ace was so smooth it landed on an island like a private jet. He’s got a chance. Alex in. That was his first live ace, but Chase Copka’s ace had fans taking their shirts off for him. Oh yeah. Chaseka. His ace proved he’s more than just Brook’s little bro. But Sebastian Soderberg’s ace slid right in cuz it was already wet. Start in a major and playing very, very well. Doesn’t get much better than that. Can’t believe he made a hole in one in the rain like that. But at Live Golf Korea, we got to see two balls squeeze in the hole one after another. He’s a reserve here playing for Louis Stinger GC. He teased off at the par 313. Excuse me. It is Burmeister competition in Miami fairly recently. One under pass so far. RIP GC are one over as a Oh, he’s in. Backto back aces is crazy. But Carlos Ortiz ace shows why Arizona is one of the biggest party states in the US. 16 2015 Ryder set off the party. Ortiz, how about it? Yeah, he definitely pulled an ASU batty that night. But the odds of Lewis hitting the next shot were one in three billion. An afternoon like this. [Applause] That’s one. Damn, his balls collided perfectly into the hole. But Matthew Wol’s second ace was a Houston Rocket nine iron. [Applause] What an insane shot. But for whatever reason, God didn’t want Jason Day to see his ace on the team. Frank flag protected by the bucket. Don’t look away. Jason is going to kick forward and go in. Now that’s sick. But Jordan Spie’s ace was even better cuz he was able to hit it in his home state of Texas. [Music] How about in one yard short of a 200yd hole in one, but Jonathan Beard hit an ace while his wife was naked with someone else. The decision was made to play one more hole. We were watching it at home. I was with the kids. We didn’t travel that week and we were watching it on TV and it was so dark. I thought surely they’re not going to play this last hole. Wanted to hit a good shot. One swing, one chance. What a shot. Oh, it’s over. It’s over. So, I started to get them in the bathtub, got all their clothes off, water’s running, and that ball went in the hole. And we’re all standing in the living room, and the kids are naked, jumping up and down, screaming. It was so much fun. Ma’am, I don’t think those other details were necessary. Up next though, we got Sam Ryder becoming an NBA superstar, dunking his ace like the earlier one, except it’s from 204 yds out. Two holes this night on 10 11 and it’s been shot here up the hill. And he holds it. This helped him win his first PGA tour. But Dustin Johnson’s ace paid for someone’s house on the fourth. How about this? Is it going? How about that? And somebody is going to get their mortgage paid for a year by the way. Quickly. And JB Holmes A’s might look a little familiar. On the tea at the par three, a seven iron. Hold. Look at this again. Maybe again. Get out of here. How does that happen? Somebody get me a statistician and figure the odds on this. The odds of back-to back aces here are 1 in 9 million according to AI. But Tom Layman’s ace wasn’t just long. It was girthy. That was the first ever par4 ace in PGA history. But Victor Havlin’s ace was so good he got picked up. Happened yet? How about this? At the par three, nobody a moment ago has hit this screen except the three guys and and that was his first poor ace, but Tim Clark’s ace hopped right in at 220 yards. We had a hole in one here at the Ryder Cup by Howard Clark back in 95. And Tim Clark a couple of hops. That was in 2013. I can’t believe the quality of cameras was that bad. But Jordan Speed’s ace was one of the hardest and tightest holes. Let’s see if it stops. Let’s see if it stops. Let’s see if it drops. Are you kidding me? Man’s a legend. He won a $5,000 tag here. Watch with that shot. But Sean Stephanie hit the first ever ace in a US Open at an even farther distance. [Applause] What a lucky bounce. But Chaz Revy’s ace was the longest in tour championship history. Watch this. And a welldeserved roar. Beautiful shot. But Matt Wallace threw his balls on a fan’s face after his ace. Apparently Wallace earned a $5,000 sponsor bonus for the week’s longest ace, which he gifted to the fan with the ball. But Sew Kim’s ace was hit on the longest par three on the golf course. behind the green in regulation trying to hit it through that narrow alleyway there between the two bunkers. Oh, look at this. That was the roar we heard earlier. A hole in one for Seu. He broke the Open’s longest ace record by 12 yards. And Seaw Woo Kim needs to be nerfed cuz he hit an even longer one a year later at the PGA Championship. four under currently has the best round going of any overall and one of the best shots we’ve seen at number six. How good he got. Damn, his wood shattered that hole. But Rahil Ganji has the farthest hole in one in this video at 316 yds. This Rahil Ganji a rookie out of India 33 years old on the par4 number 15. They moved the TE’s up today. 318 yds. Got a nice bounce forward. Once it hit the green, it reacted like a puck dead center. First it was Chip Beck back in 2003. Richard Johnson in 2000. But actually, there’s a legend who made a par4 332 yd ace on the PGA Tour. And we have the only footage of it ever happening. But not only is it the farthest hole-in-one ever, it’s one of the greatest golf stories of all time. Cuz some athletes are born for greatness. They break records. They collect trophies. They dominate headlines. And then there are the others. The journeymen, the grinders, the nearly men, the ones who spend their whole lives chasing greatness and never quite reach it. Andrew McGee was one of those men until one swing, one reckless, desperate swing turned him from a forgotten pro into a golfing legend. This is the true story of the only par4 hole-in-one in PGA Tour history, and how it may have saved Andrew McGee’s career, his confidence, and maybe even his life. By 2001, Andrew McGee had been on the PGA Tour for nearly two decades. He wasn’t a household name. He wasn’t a major winner, but he was good. Good enough to win four times in the 1990s. He was consistent. He stayed on tour. He made a living. But that was the problem. He stayed without rising. While younger, flashier players passed him by while Tiger Woods turned golf into a global spectacle. McGee’s game was slowly fading into the background. He hadn’t won since 1994. His name wasn’t on the leaderboards anymore. He wasn’t the guy cameras followed. And after years of just missing cuts, finishing middle of the pack, and watching his peers collect trophies, McGee was getting tired. Tired of chasing something that always seemed one round away. Tired of being invisible. He never said the word depression. But in his own words, he felt forgotten. The 2001 Phoenix Open wasn’t supposed to mean anything for McGee. He was 37 years old, ranked 256th in the world, and just trying to make the cut. It was a desert tournament. rowdy fans, loud holes, and a party atmosphere. Not exactly the kind of place you find redemption, but McGee needed something, a spark, a moment. Even a good round might have felt like medicine. He started the tournament decently, made the cut, but he wasn’t playing great. By Saturday, round three, he was several shots back, completely out of contention. He described himself that morning as antsy, frustrated. It felt like just another week where the magic wasn’t going to happen. McGee stepped onto the 17th TE at the TPC Scottsdale. It’s a short par4, just 332 yards. Reachable for a long hitter, but tricky. There’s water on the left. Trouble everywhere. The group in front of him was still on the green. Tom Byum and Steve Pate lining up their putts. Normally, you wait for them to get off the green. But McGee wasn’t in the mood to wait. Not that day. Not after how he’d been playing. He pulled out his driver. Not to drive the green, just to get it up there somewhere. He was tired of thinking. Tired of waiting, tired of playing it safe. So he swung. The ball took off like a missile. Left side of the fairway. Perfect trajectory. It took a bounce and rolled straight up onto the green where Tom Byron was still standing. McGee ball skipped right past him as you see in this footage and it clipped Byum’s putter. Not his hand, not his foot, his putter blade. The ball ricocheted slightly, changed direction, and then it dropped dead center. hole in one on a par4. But there was no roar. There was no crowd explosion, just confusion. Nobody knew what had just happened. McGee hadn’t even seen it. Byum hadn’t processed it. Pate just stood there with his dick in his hands. They looked at each other, looked at the cup, looked at the putter. Did that really just happen? McGee walked up the fairway skeptical. It wasn’t until he got close and saw the disbelief in Byron’s face that it hit him. He hadn’t just made a great shot, he made history. But does it count? It hit his putter after all. Officials were called over. They opened up the rule book, flipped through the pages, and searched for the answer. And there it was. Rule 195A. If a ball played from off the green strikes another player’s equipment accidentally, the stroke counts with no penalty. It was official. The ace stood and golf would never forget it. But the irony, McGee didn’t even go on to win that tournament. He finished tied for 37th. No trophy, no last day charge. But that didn’t matter because McGee had just done something that Tiger Woods, Jack Niclaus, Arnold Palmer, and every legend in the sport had never done. He made the only hole-in-one on a par4 in PGA Tour history. It was bizarre. It was lucky, but it was also immortal. That one shot did something for McGee that years of grinding never could. It gave him legendary status. It gave him a place in the record books. He had spent a career trying to become a legend, trying to win enough, place high enough, matter enough, and in one moment of frustration, one swing he almost didn’t take, he became one. Andrew McGee, the man who could never quite win enough to be remembered, became the man who did something nobody else ever had and likely never will again.
