Sam Ryder makes an ace on 16 at WM Phoenix Open, coliseum nearly explodes and beer cans come raining down

This was Sam Ryder’s first ace on the PGA Tour.

The last ace made on the 16th at TPC Scottsdale came from Francesco Molinari in 2015. Well, the Italian was just taken over.

Sam Ryder, coming off a birdie at the par-5 15th, canned an ace in front of the rowdy, heavily lubricated, coliseum fans and the place went nuts.

Beer sprayed throughout the crowd and cans were tossed in every direction. Not sure if there’s a better place on Earth to make one.

Just ask Tiger Woods, who did it back in 1997 and raised the roof in front of thousands. Although when he did it, the arena-like structures surrounding the hole didn’t yet exist.

Even better – this was Ryder’s first ace on Tour. This was the 10th hole-in-one at the 16th in tournament history.

Shoutout to the tournament workers at 16, look at this mess.

Playing with Ryder on Saturday is Brian Harman, who made two aces in the same round at the Barclays back in 2015.
