Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Shane Lowry made a hole-in-one at The Masters in April 2026, becoming the first player in Masters history to record two holes-in-one at Augusta National (one on No. 6 in 2026, and his previous Masters ace on No. 16 in 2016).[1][4][8]
- The 2026 ace on No. 6 vaulted him up the leaderboard and put him into contention in the weekend, with coverage noting his historic achievement and the excitement from his playing partner and crowd.[2][7][8][1]
- Several outlets highlighted the historical significance of Lowry’s two Masters holes-in-one, including mentions of the crystal bowl prize typically awarded for a Masters hole-in-one and the broader context of his performance in that edition of the tournament.[4][9]
If you want, I can pull more details about the exact hole locations, yardages, and how he finished the tournament, or provide a quick timeline of his Masters performance around that event. Would you like a short summary with key stats or a side-by-side comparison with other Masters holes-in-one records?
