Francesco Molinari was in a dire situation when he came to hole 9, his last hole at round 2 of the US Open 2024. Because, bar a small miracle, this would be his last hole of the week, when at seven over par he had to expect to miss the cut. But then the incredible happens: The shot carries the bunker, landed on the green, breaking left to right on the line towards the hole – and goes in, catapulting Molinari into the cut line.
“It was the last chance to have a chance to play the weekend”, Molinari said after his round. He wasn’t exactly planning for the ace, though. “You’re trying to hit a good shot. I just bogeyed 8. I was hoping I was able to par 8 and then having to make 2 at 9, with that flag, if you hit a good shot, you can get it within birdie range, but when I dropped a shot at 8, standing on the 9th tee it was just put a good swing on it and see what happens.”
It was the second hole in one of the day after Sepp Straka aced hole 9 in the morning already.
