Making a hole-in-one is impressive enough, let alone making an ace to claim a share of the lead at a PGA Tour event.
That’s exactly what Webb Simpson did when he made his third career hole-in-one, and first since 2010, during Saturday’s third-round action at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
The 34-year-old major champion aced the par-3 12th hole at TPC Scottsdale, playing at 196 yards. Simpson moved to 6 under on his round and 14 under overall to tie Tony Finau and Billy Horschel for the lead at “The People’s Open.”
It’s the third hole-in-one made this week. The first was Thursday on No. 4, the second was Friday on No. 7 and now Simpson’s on Saturday. No. 16, the famous party hole, is the only par 3 to not be aced this week.
