It sounded like just another day in the Masters office on Saturday for Shane Lowry.
The Irishman once again wowed the gallery at Augusta National with a hole-in-one on the 6th hole. He executed a perfect swing with his 7 iron to record an ace on the 190-yard par 3, becoming just the 7th Masters competitor ever to do so.
Lowry had the crowd pumping their fists and raising their hands in awe. Even fellow player Harris English, standing on the 16th green nearby, had to bow down to the Masters’ new hole-in-one king.

Lowry also had a hole-in-one on the 16th back in 2016, making him the first golfer in Masters history to notch two hole-in-ones at the prestigious tournament.
Asked about his single-stroke prowess at Augusta, Lowry had the perfect response ready.
“Maybe I’m just good,” Lowry said cheekily during his post-round press conference, via the Palm Beach Post’s Tom D’Angelo.
Every single golfer who qualifies for the Masters is “good.” Carding two hole-in-ones at Augusta is simply legendary.
Lowry scored a 68 in his third round, aided in part by his 6th hole ace. The strong Saturday performance dropped his total to -9, just two strokes behind leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young.
The 39-year-old has been particularly prolific at racking up the hole-in-ones throughout his career. Perhaps he could score another one Sunday en route to his first-ever Masters win.
