AUGUSTA, Ga. — Shane Lowry made history at Augusta National on Saturday, recording a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole during the third round of the 2026 Masters Tournament. The feat made the Irish golfer the first player in Masters history to record multiple holes-in-one across his career at the tournament.
Lowry, the 2019 Open Championship winner, had previously recorded an ace at Augusta National, making Saturday's hole-in-one a rare and historic achievement. The sixth hole, known as "Juniper," plays as one of the shorter par-3s on the course and was the site of Lowry's memorable moment.
The hole-in-one drew loud cheers from the Augusta gallery and brought significant attention to Lowry's round. Holes-in-one at the Masters are relatively rare occurrences, making Lowry's achievement of recording more than one in his Masters career a remarkable statistical milestone in the tournament's long history.
Lowry, representing Ireland, has been a consistent presence at major championships since his breakthrough Open Championship victory at Royal Portrush in 2019. His performance at Augusta continued to demonstrate his comfort on the major championship stage.
