Shane Lowry Achieves First Masters Hole-in-One Since 2022 on Par-3 Sixth

Shane Lowry made history at the Masters by scoring a remarkable hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole. This achievement is significant as it marks the first hole-in-one at the tournament since Stewart Cink’s ace on the 16th hole in 2022. Furthermore, Lowry becomes the first golfer in Masters history to achieve multiple aces in the prestigious event.

Historic Achievement at the Masters

On April 11, 2026, Shane Lowry’s hole-in-one on the sixth hole made him only the seventh golfer to ever accomplish this feat in the tournament’s history. The most recent ace prior to Lowry’s was recorded by Corey Conners in 2021.

Moving Up the Leaderboard

Lowry’s stunning shot propelled him into a tie for second place with an impressive score of 8 under par, enhancing his chances in the competition. The joy was palpable as he celebrated the moment with fellow golfer Tommy Fleetwood, who is also competing against Rory McIlroy.

Lowry’s Ace Legacy

This is just one of several aces in Lowry’s career, establishing him as a notable figure for hole-in-ones in golf. His previous aces include:

• No. 16 at Augusta National in 2016
• No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass in 2022
• No. 7 at Pebble Beach in January 2025
• No. 2 at Houston’s Memorial Park two weeks prior to the Masters

Lowry’s latest ace further enhances his reputation as one of golf’s leading hole-out specialists. His earlier feats included an eagle on hole 13 earlier in the tournament, showcasing his exceptional skill.

Looking Ahead

As Lowry aims for greater heights, he needs only one more ace on hole 12 to complete an impressive sweep of Augusta’s par 3s. With his consistent performance and growing legacy, Shane Lowry is solidifying his place in golf history.
