The Irishman recorded a hole-in-one on the sixth hole at Augusta National on Saturday, putting patrons into a frenzy.

He is now the only player in golf history to have two aces at Augusta National.

Any Masters ace is memorable, but this one might have some extra significance since Lowry shot up the leaderboard and moved into a tie for second at 8 under par.

Once Lowry hit the hole-in-one, he was four shots back of Rory McIlroy, who entered the day six shots ahead of the field, good for the largest 36-hole lead in tournament history.

However, he bogeyed the first hole while Patrick Reed birdied his first three holes, suddenly cutting McIlroy’s lead to two. But Reed bogeyed the fourth hole, and McIlroy birdied the third for the two-shot swing.

Lowry, 39, is looking for his second career major, having also won the Open Championship in 2019 at Royal Portrush.
