In the first year of luxury vehicle manufacturer Genesis as a sponsor for the Scottish Open, a cool little incentive was added to the 17th hole for those in the field.
The first player to ace the 203-yard par-3 would be taking home the new electric Genesis GV70 SUV, and his caddie would get the GV60 crossover. It didn’t take long for someone to stake claim to the prizes.
On Friday, Jordan L. Smith nailed the hole-in-one just before the finish of his second round. The shot landed on the green several yards from the flag, but got a perfect roll right into the cup.

Smith sits at three under after the round. The Genesis Scottish Open is the first event co-sanctioned by the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour and counts towards both the DP World Tour rankings and FedExCup Standings.
