It was the third consecutive year that there’s been at least one ace at the 170-yard hole known as Redbud.
Matt Kuchar had a hole-in-one in 2017, while three players did it in 2016.
Patrick Reed won the Masters on Sunday. It was his first major championship, with a thrilling one-shot victory over Rickie Fowler.
