Argentine Emiliano Grillo set off the latest beer shower at TPC Scottsdale’s stadium hole, flying his 155-yard tee shot directly into the cup to send fans into raptures during the second round.
“It was perfect. Perfect number, just a full shot, pitching wedge,” Grillo told the Golf Channel after his shot. “It was a little bit of a delayed reaction because we don’t see it really well from (155 yards). Just the crowd went nuts, so did I.
“Obviously you dream of this. I’ve been playing here 10 years … and every time you’re standing there, you get a thought of like, ‘What if this one goes in?’ It was just perfect.”
It was the 12th ace in tournament history on a hole that has witnessed some iconic moments, none moreso than Tiger Woods’ unforgettable hole-in-one in 1997.
