“I hit a really good shot for once, so it was pretty nice. It was a pretty comfortable shot where I knew I had a big window to land the ball in,” Parry said, according to Open’s website.

“It was either beating cards, hit the cut and feeding down or – it went a little stronger than I thought it would from that distance to which club I hit. But I felt it would be close.”

Emiliano Grillo hit a hole-in-one on the same hole as the open was at Royal Portrush six years ago.

Parry’s hole-in-one was the 31st. By that open since 1981.

“It was a great day. Obviously, the kind of experience you get a hollow-in-an atmosphere was absolutely amazing,” said Parry after the round via Open’s Website.

At this time, Scottie Scheffler leads the big tournament of 12 under par.
