It’s okay if you’re feeling a bit of a golf hangover after the Masters last week.
The intensity and emotion of Augusta can take a lot out of all of us—let alone those playing the famed course. But sometimes the best way to get over a hangover is to get right back out on the course. Many of the top golfers in the world are doing just that at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, South Carolina this weekend.
Corey Conners is among those back in action on Thursday and it’s clear he’s still dialed in after his sixth place finish in Georgia. Just look at how casually he sinks this hole-in-one at the par 3 No. 7.

That’s not a fluke or a lucky shot, either. Conners placed the ball perfectly beyond the front of the green and watched as it only needed to roll a few feet further to drop in the cup.
If it appears as though Conners is acting like he’s been here before, there’s a pretty simple reason for that: he has. Quite often, in fact. According to the PGA, no player has sunk more aces than Conners’ four since 2019.
It’s also the second consecutive year the RBC Heritage has seen a hole-in-one at No. 7 with Denny McCarthy recording one last year on Sunday. There have been 10 aces at No. 7 dating back to 1990, but it’s hard to imagine anyone remained more calm than Conners did. Despite dropping to three-under par with the shot, his playing partners—and a few bettors—appeared more fired up than he was.

Take note: betting on an ace in any given tournament might be a good strategy, but betting on Conners to sink one is certainly more profitable. Especially if he keeps draining them at this rate.
