Playing in his first Players Championship, Aaron Rai carded a hole-in-one on the iconic par-3 17th hole during the third round.
“I saw it go in and then I looked to the left to almost see, ‘Is it real?’ ’’ he said. “I saw the crowd’s hands in the air. In the second after that, I looked to the right towards my caddie and he came running at me. It happened very fast, but it feels very vivid now that I’m even talking about it and remembering some of those images.
Aaron Rai celebrates with Dylan Wu after his hole-in-one on the 17th hole in the third round of the Players Championship.“I thought it was a great opportunity to be able to walk with him, to see him close and see how he plays certain shots around the greens, to see how he prepares, to see the ball flights that he uses,’’ Rai said.
“It’s just a golf course that really doesn’t reward any sort of style of play. You got to hit it in certain positions and go from there. I feel like it’s a golf course that’s always suited me really well.’’
