Harris English hole-in-one on the first day of the Tour Championship

English plays the 15th hole with a 5 iron, 224 yards. The ball hits target after three bounces on the green. The Tour Championship first returned to East Lake in 1998, returned every two years and then fixed in 2004. During this time, hole 15 did not record an ace, until English was on the teeing ground yesterday.

“The audience cheered and I was overjoyed for about 15 seconds. I know my own caddy is crazy about this. He likes wine, so he’ll probably ask for a treat. Maybe I’ll have to go buy it when the game is over”, English share feelings and “responsibility” on Golfweek after a rare hit on hole 15.

World number one Jon Rahm from four strokes behind Cantlay to two strokes away thanks to a -5 round point and the deepest negative on the opening day. Yesterday, “distant boss” DeChambeau – averaging 321.7 yards this season, scored five birdies but to four bogey should earn just one point.
