Getting a hole-in-one is probably the second greatest achievement in golf, just beneath winning a tournament. A hole-in-one is most probably made on par 3s and rarely on par 4s that are shorter. But what are the odds of achieving it in the first hole of the event itself? That’s what Chris Kirk did recently.
Kirk is currently competing in the Mayakoba Classic in Mexico. And that’s where he achieved this rare feat during the first round. So let us have a look at this remarkable achievement with an incredible coincidence as well.

Meanwhile, Chris Kirk had an incredible start to his campaign at the El Camaleon Golf Club. After an ace on the 10th, he made a birdie and an eagle on the 12th and 13th hole. However, he slightly fell behind with three bogeys on 16, 18, and 1st hole.
But thanks to his brilliant game, Chris made four birdies before signing on a card with a score of -7. Hence, he will be hopeful of continuing this form in the upcoming rounds and be in a strong position going into the final round.
