With the 2021 Houston Open underway from tomorrow, we were having a look at past memorable moments from the event that was first played in 1946. Undoubtedly, one of the top moments was Patrick Reed’s ace and the delightful excitement that followed after.

Often, Reed has displayed his emotions on course unabashedly. Recalling a similar iconic moment, the nine-time winner on the PGA Tour hit a wonderful shot that made for a very entertaining watch.

The marvel took place on the par-3 16th hole at the 2015 Shell Houston Open. Playing 5-under par, Reed took on the 178-yard and hit his first shot with a 5-iron. Perfect distance, an impeccable line, and there’s nowhere else the ball could’ve gone.

It dropped right on the edge of the green, and as the camera zoomed in, it rolled closer and closer to the hole. The crowd sucked in their breath in anticipation and they were not disappointed. “How about an ace?” the commentator says, as the ball sinks in. Reed lifts his hands in celebration as praises pour in from the caddies and fellow players.

The video continues as an exuberant Reed races his caddie to the green. Amusingly, the latter remains ahead, despite carrying a golf bag on his shoulder. The 2018 Masters winner went on card a score of 9-under par and finished T-17. J. B. Holmes topped the leaderboard after winning a playoff against Jordan Spieth and Johnson Wagner.
