Golf is hard.
On Saturday afternoon at the Valspar Championship, Jason Kokrak made it look pretty easy with a hole-in-one.
Looking for his first PGA Tour win, Kokrak birdied three of his first five holes on the back nine on moving day before the ace at the par 3 15th hole. At the time, the hole-in-one tied Kokrak with Paul Casey for the lead at 7-under par with the Copperhead Course’s infamous “Snake Pit” finishing stretch of holes awaiting.
It was just the 11th hole-in-one in Valspar Championship history, and the tournament’s first since Jonathan Byrd’s ace at No. 15 in 2015.
Kokrak has played well early this Tour season, making the cut in all 10 events he’s played, including two top-10 finishes.
