Call it the Irish luck.
A few hours after Rory Mcilroy hit the hole -in -one in the 15th hole of Spyglass Hill Shane Laurie made an ace The 7th Hall of Peben, one of the most famous par 3 in the world.
“It came out nicely just to the left of the hole. It's a place where you need to sell it if you really want to get closer,” Lauri said.
“Yes, big bounce, it was perfect. It just spin and rotated directly into the hole. It was quite cool.”
To celebrate Ralei and Makiroy bought dozens of beers Pizza for the people of the media center. If you make a hole -in -one as the maxim progresses, you have to buy a drink to celebrate. Irishman did it in an instant class for the people who cover the event on the Pebble Beach.
Lowry and Mcilroy did not participate.
“Unfortunately, it's not for school night,” said Rory.
“If there are several people at dinner, I'm convinced. I hope Rory is there, I can divide the bill with him.”
Thursday's Ace in Rory puts him in a rare air. He now has a hole -in -one in the 16th Hall of Augustanathana, TPC Sawgrass, 17th hole, and now Pebble Beach's 7th hole.
“I was very fortunate to everything,” Lauri added.
“Here, Augusta and Soroglas. Yes, I don't know what to say, I think it's an Irish or something luck, I know sometimes it's pretty good. , If you are a little lucky you know.
Mcilroy and Lowry each shot 6 under 66 in the first round of the At & T Pebble Beach Pro-AM, and one day later, two strokes were sitting behind the leader Russell Henry. However, Rory feels that his shot has improved in consideration of the importance of the 7th hole.
“Yeah. Slam dunked it, right?” Ralei said when asked about Makiroy's ace.
“Yes, my thing is definitely good.”
It's difficult to discuss in some way, Ace of Makiroy When Michael Block was dunk to the hole -in -one in Oakhill's 15th hole, I immediately compared it with the 2023 PGA championship. Ironically, Makiroy played in the final round in Rochester.
“I know that the ball is in the air is a very expensive tea, and I know it's online, but I don't know if I go, sit, spin, or release.”
“It's a bit strange, it's like seeing it, you are looking at the place where it lands on the greenery, and the things are just disappearing. To be honest, it was lucky. I'm lucky to see many balls going straight to the hole today. It was a good wedge shot.
