PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Rory McIlroy's first round on the PGA Tour this season included an ace. McIlroy aced the 15th hole at Spyglass Hill in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Thursday. The world's third-ranked player rattled the flagstick from 119 yards out with a wedge, and the ball dropped into the cup. The hole-in-one helped McIlroy shoot a 6-under 66 in the first round. It was the second career ace on tour for McIlroy, who made his first during the opening round of the 2023 Travelers Championship. Shane Lowry also had an ace in the opening round. His was on the famous 113-yard seventh hole at Pebble Beach.
