The Irishman made a hole-in-one at Augusta National’s par-3 sixth hole Saturday during the third round of the 2026 Masters. Lowry hit 7-iron on the 190-yard shot and landed his ball about 20 feet in front of the flag. It took two bounces and rolled right into the cup.

This is just the latest in Lowry’s long history of aces at iconic holes around the globe.

In 2016, he made one at Augusta’s 16th. Six years later at the Players Championship, he aced the famous island green 17th at TPC Sawgrass. Then last year, he holed one from off the tee at Pebble Beach’s scenic par-3 seventh. He also made a hole-in-one just two weeks ago at the Texas Children’s Houston Open at Memorial Park.

The ace at Augusta’s sixth on Saturday propelled him up to a tie for second on the Masters leaderboard, four shots off the lead of his good friend Rory McIlroy as of 3:45 p.m. ET.
