Shane Lowry secures incredible piece of Masters history as Irishman stuns fans with latest Augusta hole-in-one
Shane Lowry became the first golfer in history to make more than one hole-in-one at the Masters.
The popular Irishman delighted the bosses by birthing the 190-yard, par-3 sixth hole early in his third round at Augusta National on Saturday afternoon.
That catapulted him to a quarter of the lead held by close friend Rory McIlroy, who saw his commanding position weakened earlier on Saturday.
Lowry’s shot sailed to the bottom of the hole and bounced a few times before he earned his seventh ace on that hole in tournament history.
The moment sparked wild celebrations on the field, with Lowry’s playing partner Tommy Fleetwood embracing his Ryder Cup teammate.
The shot was so good that even American player Harris English stopped and pretended to bow to Lowry on the nearby 16th green.

This is the 35th time a hole-in-one has been scored at the Masters, and now Lowry has two.
His previous hole-in-one here was the 16th in the final round of 2016. It was also his second ace in a month, after recording it at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March.
Lowry also hit the 17th at Sawgrass in 2022 and the short seventh at Pebble Beach in January 2025, two of the most famous par threes in golf.
For his latest effort on Saturday, Lowry will be rewarded with a large crystal bowl by Augusta National.
