Watch: Scottie Scheffler stuns fans with second-ever hole-in-one at the Charles Schwab Challenge 2023
Scottie Scheffler aced the 189-yard par-3 8th hole at the Colonial Golf Club during the final round of the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge. This was the second hole-in-one of the tournament, as Harris English also aced the par-3 8th hole on the second round of the Colonial on Friday.
The Dallas native was getting huge support from the crowd anyway, but the crowd's noise went to the next level as he sank in an ace on the eighth hole. His caddie, Ted Scott, shook hands and gave him a little hug to celebrate the ace.
This was Scheffler's second career hole-in-one on the PGA Tour. The first one came nine years ago at the 2014 Byron Nelson, Scehffler's debut tour event.
