For a guy who hasn’t won a professional event since 2011, Kevin Na is getting a helluva lot of run at Majors. First there was Na’s infamous fescue rant at Erin Hills, followed by the 33-year-old demonstrating the awkward lies that can be had in Royal Birkdale’s bunkers.
However, Na made headlines in a more reputable fashion on Thursday morning (AEST), carding an ace in his final preparation for the Open Championship:

Sure, Na doesn’t have much of an Open record to speak of, and his last top-10 in a strokeplay event came in February. Moreover, haters will downplay the hole-in-one, as it came during a practice round.
That said, how can you not appreciate Na crooning “OOOOOOO baby!” immediately after contact? Keep living big, my man.
