And that's not hyperbole - McIlroy dunked his golf ball right into the hole without a bounce.
It was the second hole-in-one the four-time major champion has hit on tour. His first came in 2023 at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
McIlroy is ranked third in the world, behind Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.
It's McIlroy's first event of the new PGA season. He started his first round on the 10th hole, so the ace got him to three-under through six on the day.
