British Open: Si Woo Kim hits long hole-in-one in historic first on No. 17 at Royal Troon

Si Woo Kim hasn’t been having the best week at Royal Troon. Now, though, he’s pulled off a historic first in Scotland.

Kim hit the first hole-in-one of this year’s British Open on Saturday morning. He landed his tee shot on the long par-3 17th just short of the green, and it ran up and in perfectly. That prompted a huge celebration at the tee for Kim, who said he couldn’t see it fall.
