During the final round of the PGA Tour's Texas Children's Houston Open, professional golfers Shane Lowry and Adam Scott both recorded rare holes-in-one on the same day, an uncommon feat on the pro circuit.

Why it matters

Holes-in-one are already extremely rare occurrences in professional golf, with the average PGA Tour player recording just one every 2,500 rounds. For two players to accomplish the feat back-to-back is an incredibly unlikely and exciting moment that captivated fans and highlighted the skill of these top competitors.

The details

Lowry aced the 175-yard 6th hole, while Scott followed shortly after with a hole-in-one on the 215-yard 7th hole. Both shots were struck with precision, landing softly on the green and rolling directly into the cup to the delight of the gallery.
