Masters 2023: Watch Sepp Straka make a hole-in-one at Augusta National’s 12th hole
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Masters doesn’t begin till Thursday however Sepp Straka’s week is already made.
The 2022 Honda Basic winner performed a apply spherical Monday at Augusta Nationwide, going off on the second 9 with Abe Ancer, J.T. Poston and Chris Kirk. When the group reached the venerable par-3 twelfth, Straka hit a shot that made Golden Bell ring loud by way of the property. And if that sounds dramatic for a apply spherical, effectively, it was … as a result of Straka made a hole-in-one:
Solely factor higher than that shot was Straka’s response, and the response of the remainder of the group.
Although the par-3 sixteenth has facilitated its justifiable share of aces over the previous decade, it’s been 35 years for the reason that twelfth conceded a hole-in-one (Curtis Unusual in 1988). Sure, this doesn’t rely towards the event’s official stats, however we don’t suppose that can make Straka’s feat any much less particular.
Straka is making simply his second profession Masters begin this week. He completed T-30 in his event debut final spring.
