John Parry hit the first hole-in-one at The Open during the third round on Saturday at Royal Portrush.
Parry, 38, hit an 8-iron on the 192-yard 13th hole. The ball landed on the green, took a couple of bounces and went straight into the hole.
Parry took his hat off and embraced Justin Leonard, whom he was playing with, in celebration.

The English golfer guessed that it was "about" the 10th hole-in-one of his career.
"Definitely the best one, 100%," Parry said.
Parry said he felt his shot "was going to be close" after he hit it.

"I did hit a really good shot for once, so it was quite nice. It was quite a comfortable shot where I knew I had a big window to land the ball in," Parry said, according to the Open's website.
"It was either going to pitch short, hit the downslope and feed down or - it went in a bit stronger than I thought it would from that distance for what club I hit. But I felt like it was going to be close."
Emiliano Grillo hit a hole-in-one on the same hole when The Open was at Royal Portrush six years ago.
Parry's hole-in-one was the 31st at The Open since 1981.
Parry is 3-under for the tournament overall after he shot a four-under-par 67 on Saturday.
"It was a great day. Obviously the sort of experience you get making a hole-in-one - the atmosphere was absolutely amazing," Parry said after the round via The Open's website.
At the time of this writing, Scottie Scheffler is leading the major tournament at 12-under par.

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. uncorked the potential throw of the year during the team’s 7-3 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night at Truist Park.
The Braves were up 3-0 in the top of the third inning with runners on first and second with one out. The Yankees’ Cody Bellinger was up to bat as the tying run.
Bellinger hooked Braves’ starting pitcher Spencer Strider’s slider down the right field line with a sky-high fly ball. Acuna caught the fly ball a step off the warning track.

The runner on second base, Jorbit Vivas, tagged up and went to third base. As Acuna caught the ball, he turned and fired a rocket to third base off his back foot.
Acuna’s laser beam of a throw never hit the ground, and he nabbed an unsuspecting Vivas for the final out of the inning at third base.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Vivas was "deked" out by the Braves third baseman, Nacho Alvarez Jr., who made it seem like no throw was coming in until he caught the ball and tagged Vivas out in one swift motion.
Vivas never slid and looked thoroughly confused after being tagged out.

"That just can't happen. I did that all my career at third base. Just kind of play dumb, play dead. And that's what (Vivas) read. The body language of Alvarez there, just deked him. He knew it was a deep fly ball, so it caught up to him. . . It's a lesson that that can't happen on a baseball field, especially in that situation," Boone said.
The play was especially costly for the Yankees, because Aaron Judge was looming on deck and with one swing of the bat, he could have tied the game 3-3.
"His accuracy is stupid," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Acuna’s throw.
"He's a weapon in right field. His arm is so strong and accurate, and the ball carries, release is good. He's special out there."
Acuna said that his throw came out of anticipation.
"I just always try to anticipate those plays," Acuna said through an interpreter. That's really what I always try to focus on, anticipating the play before it happens. I really wasn't trying to do anything besides that. Thankfully, I have a good arm."
The Braves (43-53) will look to build on Friday’s win when they take on the Yankees (53-44) in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET.
