France's Perez Aces Par-3 Sixth Hole at US Open

French golfer Victor Perez achieved a hole-in-one on the 192-yard sixth hole, a par-3, during the second round of the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont on Friday.
This rare ace was only the second hole-in-one recorded in U.S. Open history at Oakmont, which is hosting the major for the tenth time this year.
Perez made a hole-in-one on the sixth hole when his shot landed on the green, took one bounce, and then rolled into the cup; he celebrated the remarkable shot by chest-bumping with his caddie.
After making a hole-in-one to reach even-par through 15 holes, Perez acknowledged the role of good fortune in the shot and completed the round at 1-over, comfortably within the projected cut line of +7.
This ace marked a highlight in Perez's sixth U.S. Open appearance, a tournament where he has yet to make the cut but currently ranks 105th in FedEx Cup standings this season.
