Lowry gave a fist pump and soaked in the crowd’s roar.
Leaderboard Impact
The ace gave Lowry a much-needed spark in the opening round. While not yet among the leaders, the shot helped him regain momentum after a few early bogeys. Yahoo Sports reported that it marked his third career ace on the PGA Tour and put him in solid position heading into Friday’s round.
“To make an ace on that hole… it’s a dream come true. I’ve watched that hole on TV since I was a kid. To do it myself? Unbelievable.”
Other Notables
The first day at Pebble also saw strong starts from Jordan Spieth and Matt Fitzpatrick, while defending champion Justin Rose struggled on the back nine. Still, no shot matched the electricity of Lowry’s ace. The highlight went viral across social media, reminding fans why the 7th is one of golf’s greatest theater stages.
What’s Next
With momentum on his side, Lowry heads into the weekend poised for a run. The ace not only boosts confidence but also adds him to a legendary list of players who’ve aced the 7th at Pebble. As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Lowry can convert this spark into a charge up the leaderboard.
