Emiliano Grillo’s slam-dunk hole on the iconic 16th sparked wild scenes at the WM Phoenix Open of the PGA Tour, where Thomas destroyed a two-stroke lead.
Grillo landed an ace of 155 yards on one of the noisiest holes in the golf course while his ball rolled around the cup a few times before finally falling.
The Argentinian ran in the T-shirt to celebrate with his caddie partners and play Rafael Campos and Seamus Power.
Fans have also become in the wild, launching beer and other drinks on the tee and green after having witnessed the first ace of the hole since the 2022 edition, when Sam Ryder and Carlos Ortiz have reached the ‘feat.
Grillo’s hole came in the middle of a 69 under two, taking him to the same number for the tournament and just inside the cutting line.

The distrand leader also made 16 doors, landing his ball less than two feet before sorting out.
It was one of the eight gains one day of seven sous for the Belgian, who won three in a row from the ninth and closed with two other birdies to reach 12 under the event.
Alex Smalley and Michael Kim are joint second out of 10 sous with Tom Kim, Jordan Spieth – who helped 13 and 15 – and to Christiaan Bezuenhout a blow further.
Justin Thomas is four shots in advance in Arizona
Justin Thomas is part of a group of five people out of eight sous, one before the world No. 1 of Scottie Scheffler, who drew on Friday a under 66 years without defect in Arizona.
