Key’s achievement was met with tremendous celebration from onlookers, which included notable sports celebrities.

Which golfer celebrated with Key on his hole-in-one?

Key was walloped over by fans and enthusiasts cheered by the politician on his rare achievement. Among those was DP Tour player, Ryan Fox, who is a fellow countryman of Key. The Kiwi golfer is a 3-time European Tour winner, with his recent victory coming at this year’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Fox has also been a key figure in his home tour, the PGA Tour of Australasia. He has three victories on the co-sanctioned tour, with the last one coming at the ISPS Handa at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club in 2019. The 35-year-old has vast experience with different tours, having played simultaneously in multiple tournaments before. He was last seen at the Australian Open, where he didn’t finish the competition.

Key’s hole-in-one turned out to be a blessing for the event, with internet searches and social media views shooting up. Key made the ace at the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which has catered to fulfilling the wishes of terminally ill children. The event was set up in Auckland and included many popular personalities who came together for the social cause.
