The first ace of the 2023 U.S. Open belongs to a Frenchman.
"I don't know how many players have got a hole-in-one in a U.S. Open," Pavon said after his 1-over 71."It's quite cool to be part of this group of people and it's my first as a professional. So sharing this with the crowd today was just a moment I would never forget."Pavon is the first Frenchman to make a hole-in-one at any major since Thomas Levet did it in 2009 at the Open Championship at Turnberry.
For those interested in the technical specs: the ball traveled 105 miles per hour with a rotation of 11,476 rpm, and hit an apex of 100 feet before descending. This marked the 49th registered hole-in-one in U.S. Open history. Cameron Young carded one most recently last year at The Country Club's 165-yard sixth hole in the second round.
The hole-in-one dropped Pavon to even par; after a bogey on the 18th, Pavon finished the day at 1-over. Burns finished his round at 1-under. "I mean, it was just an unbelievable feeling," Pavon said."I'm just seeing now how I reacted because I didn't know I was that emotional. Things happen and I can't remember what I did at that moment, to be fair."Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.

Join the military, become a US citizen: Uncle Sam wants you and vous and tuThe U.S. military has struggled to overcome recruiting shortfalls and as a way to try to address that problem, it's stepping up efforts to sign up immigrants. The armed services are offering a fast track to American citizenship for those who enlist. The Army and the Air Force have bolstered their marketing to entice legal residents to sign up. One important part of the effort is the use of recruiters with similar backgrounds to these potential recruits.
