Travis Smyth makes hole-in-one at ‘devilish’ par-3 17th at Royal Liverpool

There was a popular storyline coming into the 2023 Open Championship, the brand new par-3 17th at Royal Liverpool.

It’s short — it played 126 yards on Thursday and 132 yards on Friday — but devilish. If players are off by just a few yards, big scores can come into play. Just ask Lucas Herbert, who made a triple-bogey six during the first round.

Well, the tough shortie wasn’t too difficult for Travis Smyth on Friday as he canned a hole-in-one.

Smyth was coming off a bogey at the par-4 16th and was 3 over for his round.

He walked off the 17th green 1 over and with a memory he’ll have for a lifetime.
