Rory McIlroy nails ace in opening round of AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Coming off an overtime loss in his virtual golf league debut just three days earlier, Rory McIlroy turned things around in the great outdoors, nailing a hole-in-one during Thursday’s opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
McIlroy flew his tee shot directly into the cup on the par-3 15th hole at Spyglass Hill from 119 yards out, vaulting him into a five-way tie for the lead at 3-under par.
McIlroy celebrated with his caddie and high-fived his playing partners, including European Ryder Cup teammate Ludvig Åberg as he made a triumphant walk to the green.
It was McIlroy’s second career ace on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy, 35, played his first match with his Boston Common Golf team on Monday, losing to fellow TGL co-founder Tiger Woods in overtime.
He then traveled from Florida to California to make his first start of the 2025 PGA Tour season.
His hole-in-one is the sixth one at Spyglass’ short par-3. The last one came in the 2023 Pro-Am by Justin Rose, who went on to win the tournament.
