Watch: Shane Lowry thrills the Sawgrass galleries with a hole-in-one at notorious 17th hole

“I’m only six back with two rounds to go. I feel like hopefully I can a move this afternoon and keep it going tomorrow.”

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Whatever ghosts have been haunting the 17th hole at Sawgrass this week, Shane Lowry banished them on Sunday.

Lowry spun back a pitching wedge from 123 yards in the third round for a hole in one – the 10th ace on the iconic hole in the 40-year history of the Players Championship at the Stadium Course. His ace followed a birdie on the same hole in the second round just a couple of hours earlier.
