Furyk made an ace on the par 3, 17th hole. He flushed a 6-iron off the tee at the 187 yards par-3 hole and suddenly caught the attention of everyone. 

The 51-year-old made an incredible comeback after the opening bogey. Jim finished the round with seven birdies, and an eagle, including his sixth PGA Tour ace. Another interesting thing to note was that he was getting some good distance off the tee. Currently, Kevin Na leads the event with a score of -9 and is just a stroke ahead of Furyk.
