NORTON — Ariya Jutanugarn did something on Sunday that many golfers can only hope to experience in their careers.
The 29-year-old hit a 118-yard hole-in-one in the final round of the FM Championship on the 16th hole at TPC Boston.
This isn’t the first time Jutanugarn hit a hole-in-one in her career. The Thailand golfer hit three others prior to Sunday’s final round, the most recent came during the BMW Ladies Championship in October 2022.
Sunday’s hole-in-one was her first in the United States. The others came in Thailand, China and Korea.
While Jutanugarn won’t bring home a car like she has previously, the LPGA Tour will donate a large sum of money to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital as part of the CME Group Cares Challenge.
After joining the LPGA Tour in 2015, Jutanugarn collected 12 career wins, 85 top-10 finishes and 146 top-25 finishes. She is the first golfer — man or woman — from Thailand to win a major championship. Jutanugarn was also ranked as the world’s No. 1 women’s golfer in 2017.
Jutanugarn came into Sunday 4-under and finished 6-under for the tournament after carding 2-under in the final round.
