PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Shane Lowry’s tee shot at the par-3 17th at TPC Sawgrass was better than most.
The burly Irishman took aim at the famed island green, playing 123 yards in the third round of the 2022 Players Championship. His pitching wedge pitched about 5 feet behind the hole, which was six paces from the front and five paces from the left edge, spun back and circled the cup for a hole-in-one.
Lowry smiled from ear-to-ear and celebrated by high-fiving playing competitors Ian Poulter and Hayden Buckley and giving Poulter and caddie Bo Martin chest bumps. Then he waved his arms up and down, encouraging fans to cheer louder.
