Irish star Shane Lowry records his second hole-in-one at Augusta National, this time at the par-3 sixth hole during the final round.
Shane Lowry etched his name further into PGA Tour history on Sunday at Augusta National, recording his second ace at the Masters during the final round. The Irish golfer’s hole-in-one came at the sixth hole, adding to an already impressive collection of aces throughout his professional career.
Lowry’s latest achievement marks only the seventh hole-in-one ever recorded at the sixth hole at Augusta National. What makes the moment even more significant is that this represents his second ace at the Masters—the first came 16 years earlier at the 16th hole. Few players can claim multiple aces across different holes at the world’s most prestigious golf venue.
A Career Marked by Iconic Aces
The Northern Irishman has built a reputation for striking remarkable shots when it matters most. Beyond his two Masters aces, Lowry has recorded other memorable holes-in-one throughout his career, including shots at iconic venues such as the seventh hole at Pebble Beach and the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass. Just weeks before his Augusta achievement, he added another ace to his résumé in Houston, demonstrating his continued precision and composure on par-3s.
The gallery at Augusta National responded with a thunderous ovation as Lowry’s shot found the cup, a moment that exemplified the special atmosphere of the Masters. Fellow competitor Harris English, playing alongside Lowry, graciously acknowledged the shot, underlining the camaraderie and respect within professional golf’s elite circle.
Lowry’s double achievement at Augusta National cements his place among the storied moments in Masters history, a distinction held by only a select few players at the course.
