Avast ye scallywags! Me hearty Rory McIlroy hath sunk a ball in one blow at the PGA Tour, a feat he ne'er accomplished afore on the eighth hole o' the Travelers Championship. He be a sharpshooter, havin' shot a 2-under 68 in the first round. Arrrrr!
In the language of a 17th century pirate, we have news that the great Rory McIlroy has finally achieved a feat that had eluded him - a hole-in-one at a PGA Tour tournament! The crowd went wild as he hit a 5-iron on the 214-yard Par 3 to make the shot of the day at the Travelers Championship. McIlroy confirmed that this was his first hole-in-one on the PGA Tour, but he has previously made an ace on the DP World Tour. The ace was a bright spot in an otherwise up-and-down round for McIlroy, who finished the day with a 68. Despite throwing away his hole-in-one ball, McIlroy stated that he would rather have trophies than golf balls. Meanwhile, Denny McCarthy stole the headlines with a first-round 60 to take the lead after one round. The second round is currently underway at TPC River Highlands. Yarrr, what a day for golf!
