Lebioda entered the 7th hole against Conners. His shadow was like a laser pinning a pennant. The ball also rolled straight into the hole but did not fall through the flagpole.

After missing the ace, Lebioda recorded a birdie, kept par on both holes and finished at T54 with a score of -1. Conners also pared the last two holes but scored -5, in position T3 thanks to hole-in-one on hole 7.

“The wind blows from left to right. I like that direction. Thanks to that, the ball is quite straight. And the strategy is to try to get into the front of the green to let the ball roll to the hole. I never thought it would come in,” Conners told how to hit hole 7.

From 2020 to now, the Conners have scored four aces on the PGA Tour, the most in the arena. The Canadian golfer just got a PGA Tour title – Texas Open 2019. Last week, he was in the top 10 finals at the major Masters.
