Shane Lowry made a historic hole-in-one at the Masters in 2026, becoming the first player to record two Masters aces in separate rounds (No. 6 in 2026 and his previous ace on No. 16 in 2016). The 2026 ace on the sixth hole helped him move into contention and set a Masters single-tournament record for multiple aces. He later commented on the moment as “pretty cool” while acknowledging the improbable nature of making a hole-in-one at Augusta. For context, Masters aces are rare events; Lowry’s 2026 two-ace feat added to the 35 total aces in Masters history and highlighted a historic performance at Augusta.[1][3][4]
