The ace came on the par-3 sixth hole, where he holed a 7-iron from 192 yards, bringing him into contention at a score of 1 over par.

He rebounded with back-to-back birdies on holes 16 and 17, but made a bogey on the 18th hole, turning at 2 over par with a score of 37.

Victor Perez made a remarkable hole-in-one at Oakmont Country Club during the 2025 U.S. Open, becoming only the second player to achieve this feat at the course.

This hole-in-one marked Perez's first on the PGA Tour and was the 54th hole-in-one in U.S. Open history.

This tournament marks Perez's sixth U.S. Open appearance, and he remains hopeful of making the cut to qualify for the weekend rounds.

Ranked 99th in the world, Perez has struggled in previous U.S. Open tournaments, having missed the cut in five consecutive attempts prior to this event.

Despite his earlier success, Perez faced difficulties on the twelfth hole, resulting in a triple-bogey after taking 8 strokes instead of the expected 5.

He completed the first round of the tournament with a score of 1-over-par, putting him comfortably within the projected cut line.

His celebration included a chest-bump with his caddie, James Erkenbeck, and congratulations from playing partners Jacob Bridgeman and Adam Schenk.

He recorded a sequence of scores including a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 through the first 15 holes of his second round, demonstrating a mix of highs and lows during the competition.

This hole-in-one is considered one of the highlights of the tournament, alongside Patrick Reed's albatross on a different hole earlier in the event.

The last ace in the U.S. Open prior to Perez came from Francesco Molinari during the previous year's tournament when he made a dramatic hole-in-one on his final hole of the second round.
