PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — The British Open at Royal Portrush has had its first hole-in-one.
English golfer John Parry's tee shot at the 192-yard No. 13 landed at the front of the green, took a couple of bounces and hopped straight into the cup.
There were big celebrations on the tee, with Parry congratulated by playing partner Justin Leonard, the 1997 Open champion.
The hole-in-one took Parry to 4-under par for his round and 3 under for the tournament.
The 38-year-old Parry is making his second appearance at a British Open, after St. Andrews in 2022.
