Shane Lowry added another chapter to his remarkable hole-in-one resume on Sunday at the Masters Tournament, drilling a shot on Augusta National’s 6th hole for his second ace at the event in his career.
The Irish golfer’s tee shot found the cup, marking the seventh hole-in-one in Masters history at that particular hole. For Lowry, it represented his second career ace at Augusta National, with his first coming 16 years earlier on the 16th hole.
A Career Built on Spectacular Moments
What makes Lowry’s achievement even more striking is the collection of iconic holes-in-one he has recorded throughout his professional career. The Irishman has demonstrated an uncanny ability to produce memorable moments at some of golf’s most prestigious venues and challenging par-3s.
Beyond his two Masters aces, Lowry’s hole-in-one highlights include:

- The 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass (home of THE PLAYERS Championship)
- A recent ace in Houston just weeks prior to Augusta
Each of these holes represents some of the most difficult and celebrated par-3s in professional golf, making Lowry’s success on these treacherous shots all the more impressive.
The Roar of Augusta
The gallery at Augusta National responded with enthusiasm to Lowry’s eagle-two on the 6th, with patrons offering their appreciation for the spectacular shot. The moment also drew acknowledgment from fellow competitor Harris English, who graciously recognized Lowry’s fortune with the classic golf gesture of respect.
Lowry’s hole-in-one continued a storied tradition at Augusta, where the par-3 holes have provided some of the tournament’s most dramatic and memorable moments over its 90-year history. The ability to strike lightning in a bottle on such occasions remains one of the great appeals of professional golf, and Lowry has proven himself adept at capitalizing when these rare moments arrive.
