John Parry hit the first hole-in-one at The Open during the third round on Saturday at Royal Portrush.
Parry, 38, hit an 8-iron on the 192-yard 13th hole. The ball landed on the green, took a couple of bounces and went straight into the hole.
Parry took his hat off and embraced Justin Leonard, whom he was playing with, in celebration.

The English golfer guessed that it was "about" the 10th hole-in-one of his career.
"Definitely the best one, 100%," Parry said.
Parry said he felt his shot "was going to be close" after he hit it.

Emiliano Grillo hit a hole-in-one on the same hole when The Open was at Royal Portrush six years ago.
Parry's hole-in-one was the 31st at The Open since 1981.
