Those of us who have never had a hole-in-one will tell you it’s all about luck, but it’s funny how the best golfers in the world have had a bunch.
Has anyone ever made a hole-in-one in a Ryder Cup?
The Ryder Cup is underway again and what a few days we have in store. Team USA is trying to regain the title, but face tough competition and almost the exact same team they faced in Rome.
Ryder Cup hole-in-ones
There have been six hole-in-ones in Ryder Cup history: Peter Butler in 1973, Nick Faldo in 1993, Costantino Rocca and Howard Clark in 1995, and Paul Casey and Scott Verplank in 2006 at the K Club in Ireland.
Rahm comes close
In 2023, Europe’s Jon Rahm almost made it seven hole-in-ones but his effort hit the flag and bounced back out.
