We interupt coverage of the Players Championship to bring you news of a hole-in-one streak. Yes, a hole-in-one streak.
Graeme McDowell accomplished a rare feat by making an ace for a second consecutive LIV Golf event. The 2010 U.S. Open champ made a hole-in-one at last week’s LIV Hong Kong event, and on Friday he added another one in Singapore.

Have a look and listen as McDowell yells at his golf ball to “GO!” while it’s in the air. It wound up going right into the cup.

McDowell shot a one-under-par 70 and is currently T-15 at the halfway mark, seven shots behind leader Bryson DeChambeau.
McDowell doesn’t even look that excited in the clip, but that’s probably because this is becoming a common occurrence. Both aces happened on a Friday and both were to front-right hole placements.

And it turns out that both are going to hit him in the wallet.
“It cost me a very expensive bottle of wine last week in Hong Kong, and I guess it’s going to cost me another very expensive bottle of wine, which I look forward to,” McDowell told LIV Golf after.
McDowell will have a chance to make it an ace trifecta next week when LIV Golf heads to South Africa. If The Club at Steyn City sets up a front-right pin on one of its par 3s during the second round, well, watch out for G-Mac.
