Former Xavier University golfer Jason Kokrak earned the first and only ace of Wednesday’s The Masters Par-3 Contest on the 125-yard No. 4 — the first hole-in-one on the fourth hole since Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas in 2016.

It was the 101st hole-in-one during the competition, per tournament officials. No. 9 is the hole that has seen the most aces.
Kokrak earned his first PGA Tour victory in Oct. 2020 at the CJ Cup at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.
In May 2021, Kokrak held off Jordan Spieth to win the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Kokrak was inducted into the Xavier University Athletic Hall of Fame in December of 2015. He turned pro in 2008 after graduating from XU in 2007.
