At the Webex Players Series Murray River event, Australian golfer Jess Whitting made a hole-in-one on the 164-meter 3rd hole at Cobram Barooga Golf Club. Whitting had previously spoken about believing that her next hole-in-one would come with a car as the prize, and she was proven right. The ace earned her a brand-new BMW i4 eDrive35 Grand Coupe valued at $93,000.

“I kept saying to people, the next time I make a hole-in-one it’s going to be when there’s a car,” Whitting said. “I’ve said it for years. The one that matters is when there’s going to be a car. Still gobsmacked.”

During the second round of the 2024 Australian Open, Min Woo Lee set the crowds alight with an eagle at the par-5 18th hole. Lee unleashed a monster drive and was left with 174 meters to the pin. From the pine straw, he hit a “swooping hook 9-iron” that landed and spun towards the hole, nearly going in for an eagle.

“Ended up in the nice pine straw out there and had a really good number for a 9-iron, like really big 9-iron and I’ve been hitting draws all week and it kind of sat up really nicely,” Lee said. “I saw the (TV) coverage and it spun left towards the hole and nearly actually went in, so really happy with that finish. It’s always nice to make an eagle whenever, but on the last hole, it’s even nicer.”

On the iconic 16th hole at Augusta National during the final round of the 2024 Masters Tournament, Rory McIlroy produced a moment of magic.

The roar from the patrons shook the grounds as McIlroy pumped his fist in celebration of the clutch shot that ultimately sealed his long-awaited Masters victory.

“I couldn’t have picked a better time to make my first hole-in-one at Augusta,” McIlroy said. “That shot will go down as one of the greatest in Masters history.”

Facing a challenging up-and-down to save par, Scheffler splashed his ball out of the sand and watched it take one hop before finding the bottom of the cup.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Scheffler calmly acknowledged the ovation, his bunker hole-out keeping him firmly in contention heading into the final round.
