France's Perez aces par-3 sixth hole at US Open

SPORTS 13.06.2025

France's Victor Perez made a hole-in-one at the par-three sixth in Friday's second round of the US Open at Oakmont.

Text size:

The 32-year-old Frenchman, who has missed the cut in 11 of his 16 prior major starts, hit the ball 192 yards and it bounced twice onto the green and rolled into the hole.

Perez exchanged a chest bump with his caddie, James Erkenbeck, then waved his left hand in the air and exchanged high-five hand slaps with his playing partners, Americans Adam Schenk and Jacob Bridgeman.

The ace followed a birdie at the par-four fifth hole and put Perez on one-over par overall, level for his round with three holes remaining.

Perez, who fired a one-over 71 at Oakmont in Thursday's first round, had a three-over par eight at the par-five 12th hole but the ace moved him from being at risk of missing the cut to the low 60 and ties after 36 holes to a share of 13th, only five strokes adrift of overall leader J.J. Spaun of the United States.
