"It was perfect": Emiliano Grillo makes his feelings clear about his slam-dunk ace on TPC Scottsdale's iconic 16th hole

A hole-in-one on the par-3 16 highlighted Emiliano Grillo's Round 2 at the WM Phoenix Open and elicited a roaring response from the crowd. After a birdie on 15, he holed a 155-yard shot that swirled around a few times before entering.

It was the 12th hole-in-one on the iconic 16 at TPC Scottsdale. After the brilliant shot, Grillo told an on-course reporter:

“It was perfect. Perfect number, just a full shot, pitching wedge. 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. I mean you dream with these."
"I have been playing here 10 years, and I got to see a couple. And every time you stand in there, you get a thought of like what if this one goes in. So I mean, it was just perfect," Emiliano Grillo added.

When Grillo was asked what would happen next, he said he didn't care. The Argentine celebrated his success with the fans present.
