McIlroy and Lowry Ace It at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am!
What a sensational day for golf at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am! Fans and players alike were treated to a display of talent as both Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry hit incredible hole-in-ones on January 31, 2025, making for an unforgettable event.
Rory McIlroy’s Stunning Ace
Rory McIlroy brought the excitement when he scored only the second hole-in-one of his remarkable PGA Tour career. The magic unfolded on the picturesque Hole 15 at Spyglass Hill, where McIlroy confidently struck a wedge shot from 119 yards. The ball flew straight into the hole without a single bounce, leaving everyone—his caddie, playing partners, and a captivated crowd—in delightful awe.
This was also McIlroy’s first outing on the PGA Tour for 2025, and what a way to kick things off! His only other ace on the Tour was back in 2023 during the Travelers Championship. Reflecting on the moment, McIlroy noted that the elevated tee made it tricky to judge where his shot would land. Despite the challenge, he nailed it!
Shane Lowry Joins the Fun
Not to be outdone, fellow Ryder Cup teammate Shane Lowry showcased his skills by landing an ace of his own on Hole 7 at Pebble Beach. Lowry’s achievement was a classic—his ball rolled onto the green before making its way into the hole, marking the third hole-in-one of his career on the PGA Tour. What a day for aces!
Competition Heating Up
Both McIlroy and Lowry ended the round impressively, each finishing at six-under-par, just two shots behind the tournament leader, Russell Henley. Speaking of Henley, he made quite the impression, opening with a phenomenal score of eight-under 64. It’s always thrilling to see such talent vying for the top spot!
The excitement didn’t stop there! Other players on the leaderboard giving Henley a run for his money included Jake Knapp, Justin Rose, Cam Davis, Sepp Straka, Rasmus Højgaard, and Viktor Hovland, all finishing just one shot behind Henley. It’s a tight race, and you can feel the competitive spirit buzzing!
Scottie Scheffler Makes His Comeback
There was also a notable return to competitive play for Scottie Scheffler. After missing two tournaments due to a kitchen accident on Christmas Day that left him with a hand injury, Scheffler came back swinging! He started with a bogey, but finished strong at five-under-par, showing incredible resilience with only one bogey throughout the day.
What’s Next? Round Two Awaits!
As the excitement of the first round settles, all eyes will be on the second round, set to begin on Friday, February 1, 2025. Fans are eager to see how the players will adjust to the pressure of the tournament, especially with such a close leaderboard.
World No. 4 Collin Morikawa is also in the mix this season. After finishing at two-under-par in his first round, he is gearing up to switch to play Pebble Beach on Friday. It’s shaping up to be an action-packed weekend for golf enthusiasts!
