Victor Perez’s time on the notoriously challenging Oakmont golf course Friday proved to be memorable. The French golfer carded a rare ace during second-round competition at the U.S. Open.

It was just the second hole-in-one on record in a U.S. Open at Pennsylvania’s Oakmont Country Club. Perez aced on the par-3 sixth hole Friday, using a 7-iron to hit the shot from 192 yards.

The ball bounced a few times before eventually rolling roughly three feet into the cup.

An animated Perez raised his arms before giving his caddie a chest bump. Perez also celebrated with his playing partners, Adam Schenk and Jacob Bridgeman, as spectators applauded. 

Perez admitted nailing an ace isn’t solely based on skill.

“Obviously, a hole-in-one takes a little bit of luck,” Perez said. “Honestly, I was trying to hit something maybe 15-20 feet past the hole. Maybe it spun a little more and bounced in. I was a little fortunate, which I’ll definitely take.”

According to Perez, it was the ninth ace of his career. He said he made two in the Bahamas — at his home course — but no one could corroborate it because he was playing alone at the time.

“They didn’t believe me at home because I was playing by myself,” Perez said. “Now, they’ll know.”

The last known ace when Oakmont hosted a U.S. Open happened in 1983. Scott Simpson carded an ace that year on the 16th hole in the first round.

The ace helped Perez recover from a rough second-round start. He ended the second round in a tie for sixth place at 1-over. 

Sam Burns ended the day at the top of the leaderboard at 3-under. Burns finished last year’s U.S. Open in a tie for ninth place.
