Victor Perez just did something that had only been done once before at Oakmont

OAKMONT, Pa. – Oakmont Country Club doesn’t yield much, especially holes-in-one.

Prior to Friday, just one competitor in nine previous U.S. Opens at Oakmont had recorded an ace. That was Scott Simpson on the par-3 16th hole during the first round in 1983.

Victor Perez has now joined that exclusive list.

Perez holed a 7-iron from 192 yards at the par-3 sixth hole, an ace that moved him firmly into contention at 1 over.

He celebrated with an epic chest bump with his caddie, too.
