AUGUSTA, Ga. — Shane Lowry electrified Augusta National, sending tremors through the course from the roars after he had a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole.
Lowry, playing with good friend and Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood, celebrated madly when the ball bounced onto the green, trundled toward the hole and disappeared into the cup.
It got him to 8-under par for the tournament and only four shots behind leader Rory McIlroy at the time.
As Lowry celebrated and the huge crowd went crazy, Harris English, who was on the 16th green, which is just about 80 yards from the sixth green, looked up the hill at Lowry and playfully bowed.
It was only the seventh ace on the sixth hole in the Masters’ 90-year history.
