Quick Hits with Rory Sabbatini: Best shot ever was an ace at Augusta

Veteran PGA Tour pro talks about the best shot of his career and says it didn’t come in a tournament, but rather in the Par 3 Contest.

A year ago, Rory Sabbatini posted a T-5 finish in the AT&T Byron Nelson, a tournament that originally was on the PGA Tour calendar for this week. The coronavirus pandemic obviously changed those plans.

That T-5 was one of his five top-ten finishes over the last two seasons. Sabbatini did also team up with Kevin Tway to win the QBE Shootout, an unofficial event, in December.

Born in South Africa, he played his college golf at the University of Arizona and turned pro in 1999. He’s won six PGA Tour events and over the course of his pro career, Sabbatini has won more than $34 million in on-course earnings.

When asked about his best shot ever, Sabbatini says it was a hole-in-one, the first one ever got, in the Masters Par 3 contest. It’s one of 94 all-time aces in the Par 3 contest.
