Justin Rose recorded a dramatic hole-in-one during the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club. The ace came on the 208-yard par-3 ninth hole, marking one of the highlights of the tournament.
Rose's tee shot with a 6-iron found the cup, moving him from 6 under par to 8 under for the event. The moment was met with an enthusiastic celebration from Rose, including fist pumps and hugs with his caddie, as the crowd erupted.
The former U.S. Open champion entered the final round with Viktor Hovland holding a one-shot lead over Ryan Gerard. Rose had positioned himself for a strong finish earlier in the week, entering the Tour Championship as a 50/1 long shot. He carded a bogey-free 65 in the second round, which placed him at 7 under par, three shots off the lead at the time. He followed that with a 69 in the third round before beginning Sunday at 8 under.
This achievement adds to Rose's notable career, which includes the 2013 U.S. Open title, an Olympic gold medal, and the 2018 FedEx Cup. His career also includes a period as the world's number one ranked player and a notable performance as a 17-year-old amateur at the 1998 Open Championship.
