Abraham Ancer ripped his second shot from 250 yards and then it watched it track to the hole.
Sure, a hole-in-one is cool but the truly rare feat in golf is the albatross, also known as the double eagle, and we got one on Friday.
In the second round of the CJ Cup at The Summit Club in Las Vegas, Abraham Ancer pounded his drive on the par-5 14th hole 300 yards.
That left him 250 yards away to the green and he went with a 4-iron. The hole location was in the back left, which is where he ball was headed after it initially bounced short of the green. It had some pace on it and then found the ridge. Making a big, sweeping left turn, the ball had eyes and it rolled into the cup for a 2.
The National Hole-in-One Registry gives a PGA Tour pro a 3,000-to-1 chance at making a hole-in-one. The Double Eagle Club, in a story by former longtime Golf World writer Bill Fields, reports the odds of an albatross are about 6 million-to-1.
Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland lead a strong field in Vegas.
Well, it’s officially that time of year for golf fans. It’s football season, and maybe golf takes a back seat. This week, the PGA Tour heads to TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas for the Shriners Children’s Open.
A few U.S. Ryder Cup team members have made their way to Vegas; Brooks Koepka, Harris English, and Scottie Scheffler. So maybe this week won’t be a wash after all, especially with other big names in the field like Hideki Matsuyama, Rickie Fowler, Patrick Reed, Viktor Hovland, Will Zalatoris, and Louis Oosthuizen.
Let’s jump into all the stats and see if we can find winner.
Golf course
TPC Summerlin
Par 71
7,255 yards
Back for some desert golf this week; artificial water features, bentgrass greens, with a few mountains and canyons to look at. Not my favorite type of golf if I’m going to be honest. Granted, it’s not the same desert golf as the Waste Management, but still.
According to DataGolf, performance off the tee is the least important statistic this week. Short golf course, with fairways on the generous side, is a receipt for every single player in this field to have an opportunity to get into contention. Just look at last years winner (Martin Laird).
Strokes gained approach: The winning score here last season was 23-under. Theses guys will need to make a lot of birdies to contend. How do you do that efficiently? Hit the ball close to the hole.
Data Golf information
Course Fit (compares golf courses based off the degree to which different golfer attributes — such as driving distance — predict who performs well at each course – DataGolf): 1. TPC San Antonio, 2. Monterey Peninsula CC, 3. St. Georges Golf and Country Club
Trending (among the players in the field): 1. Erik Van Rooyen (last 3 starts: 7, 5, T-22), 2. Kevin Na (T-17, 3, MC), 3. Louis Oosthuizen (T-17, T-38, T-14)
Abraham Ancer: Ancer had a fantastic finish to his 2020-21 campaign. Three top 10s in his last four starts, including a win at the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
Ancer is one of the most consistent players on Tour when it comes to accuracy. Last year he was fifth in fairways in regulation, and 22nd in greens in regulation. He was also 12th in scoring average, which is huge this week as the winner is usually around 20-under par.
He’s played in this event three times, two of those finishes are solo fourth and T-4. This will be his first start of the new season.
+2000 to win

Cameron Tringale: Tringale is off to a hot start this season, with a T-22 finish at the Fortinet Championship, and a T-11 last week at the Sanderson Farms. His great play really goes back to last season, where he strung together four finishes of T-26 or better in his last five starts.
Over his last 24 rounds he’s 31st in Strokes Gained: Approach, and 18th in SG: Putting. I love this combination at TPC Summerlin due to the projected winning score coming Sunday.
He cashed in a top 20 last season at the Shriners, and finished T-2 back in 2015.
+4000 to win.

Maverick McNealy: McNealy was close at the Fortinet Championship a few weeks ago, but a late shank led to a double bogey and a Max Homa win. However, I loved what he told our Adam Schupak during the week in Napa, and he seems extremely motivated.
He’s finished outside the top 30 just once since the PGA Championship (nine starts). But, he’s missed the cut here twice in three starts, with his best performance being a T-37 in 2020.
+5000 to win.

Scottie Scheffler: Just like my relationship with Will Zalatoris (who I almost put on this list again this week), Scheffler just has to win at some point soon. This week? He’s riding on the fumes of his Sunday singles beatdown of World No. 1 Jon Rahm.
His record at this golf tournament isn’t great, with a T-74 and missed cut (shot 6-under and missed the cut, that’s tough). In his last 10 starts, he had four top tens, and seven finishes of T-22 or better.
+2000 to win.
Sleeper of the week

For me, it’s impossible to look at Pat Perez and not think Vegas. And as an Arizona native, he knows desert golf as well as anyone on Tour.
He missed the cut in his last appearance at the Shriners, but in 2019 finished solo third, and grabbed a T-7 in 2016.
Over his last 24 rounds on Tour, his best two strokes gained categories have been approach (33), and putting (14). If he put’s it in the fairway this week, look for Perez to make a run.
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Abraham Ancer’s opening-round 73 at the Masters didn’t look too bad on a day when Augusta National played tough. That is until the 30-year-old native of Mexico was hit with a two-stroke penalty that resulted in a first-round 75.
On the 15th hole during Thursday’s play, Ancer unknowingly touched the sand before making his third stroke from the greenside bunker. After Ancer had signed his scorecard and exited the scoring area, video evidence was reviewed by the Masters Competition Committee regarding a potential breach of Rule 12.2b (1), which states that “touching sand in a bunker right behind the ball results in a penalty.”
The Committee deemed that the touching of the sand was visible to the naked eye. According to a statement from Jim Hyler Jr., chairman of the Competitions Committee, “had this not been the case, the video evidence would have been disregarded and a penalty would not have been applied.”
Ancer, who played in the final group of the final round of the 2020 Masters in November before finishing T-13, had his score on 15 increased from 6 to 8, resulting in a first-round 75.
Prior to learning of the penalty, Ancer said of his round, “I’m not mad or disappointed. I feel like I played pretty solid for how I hit it.”
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Not many Mexicans have played in the Masters Tournament: four have combined for six starts before this year.
And never has more than one teed it up in the same Masters. So it is quite a thrill for the country to have two of its native sons — Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz – among the 88 players in the field this year.
“You know, it’s awesome,” Ancer said Wednesday. “I think it speaks to where Mexican golf is headed. I think it’s in a good spot. Obviously we want to have more and more Mexicans and Latinos out here. Yeah, it’s awesome to have my friend out here, Carlos, and going to be a lot of fun.”
Thursday’s first round was more enjoyable for Ancer than for Ortiz. Ancer, playing in his second Masters, shot 1-over-par 73, while Ortiz opened with 81 in his Masters debut.
“It was quite the grind,” said Ancer, who started the day 2 under through three holes. “I didn’t hit it the best off the tee so I had to really dig deep and come up with some up and downs.
“Like I said, it’s playing tough, so we got to stay positive and stay really, really focused out there,” he said. “There is going to be some shots that you think you hit in a good spot and they’re not going to end up in a good spot. You got to dig deep and get it up and down.”
Ancer, who was a second-round co-leader last year as a Masters rookie before finishing in a tie for 13th place, qualified for this year’s tournament by being among the 30 players to make the Tour Championship last year. He also finished among the top 50 in the season-ending world ranking, another route into the Masters.
Ortiz got into the field by winning the Houston Open on Nov. 8. He’s also in the top 50 in the world (47th).
The only other Mexican winner on the PGA Tour is Victor Regalado, who qualified in 1975 and then again for the 1979 Masters after he won the 1978 Quad Cities Open.
[vertical-gallery id=778097465]
The other Mexicans to make the Masters were amateurs – Juan Antonio Estrada and Alvaro Ortiz. Estrada was a foreign invitee in 1962, 1963 and 1964.
Alvaro Ortiz, who is Carlos Ortiz’s younger brother, played in the 2019 Masters by virtue of winning the Latin American Amateur.
Carlos followed him around during his appearance that year, and now Alvaro is returning the favor.
“It’s a payback,” Carlos said. “I came to see him, he’s coming to see me.”
Ancer said there are other talented young Mexicans in the pipeline that should make their way to the Masters.
“I feel like since Lorena (Ochoa, the former LPGA Tour star) played on tour and did so well it kind of opened our eyes and motivated us to get out here.
“Also the Mexican Federation, I think they’ve done a really good job bringing opportunities for kids, and now the First Tee is a big deal in Mexico which before we didn’t have any First Tees,” Ancer said. “So there has been a lot of efforts in the last five years to grow the game and hopefully can keep it going.”
Abraham Ancer admits he had no idea if he’d make it from his home in San Antonio to Los Angeles for the Genesis Invitational this week.
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — Abraham Ancer has a fun video on his Twitter page hitting a golf ball in slow motion in the snow in Texas that he shot on Monday.
On Wednesday, Ancer posted another message: “Made it to LA! No practice this week but here goes nothing.”
Ancer admits in the time between he had no idea if he’d make it from his home in San Antonio to Los Angeles for the Genesis Invitational this week. A wicked winter storm has been pounding much of the U.S., with Texas making plenty of headlines for power and water outages.
“At some points I thought I was coming, at some points I was like
there’s no chance I’m coming,” Ancer said after his opening-round even-par 71 on Thursday. “I was going to fly commercial on Monday and then after that it was like pretty much the commercial flights were not going to be taking off until maybe Friday.”
A fellow PGA Tour pro who lives in Texas was also trying to figure out a way to get to the Riv.
“Sergio (Garcia) was in Austin and I was like, ‘Hey, do you have anything over there?'”, Ancer said. “I was maybe trying to, because his plane was over there as well, but he couldn’t fly his plane because his pilots were not there. They had to fly in and they couldn’t obviously. So he had to borrow a plane. He was like, ‘Man, I don’t think we’re going to be able to take off, either.’ I said, ‘Hey, I found a plane, you can drive south here and we can all just go together, but then the roads might be a little sketchy. He was like, ‘I’ll just wait.’
“Then I see him here. I was like, ‘What happened?’ He was like, ‘Well, they told me, ‘Hey, we’ve got a little 30-minute window and if you want to go, it’s right now.’ So we both made it last night here and here we are.”
Prep for the @thegenesisinv is a little different this year ☃️
Ancer did get some range time in before his round but never did get in a practice round ahead of the event after not getting to his hotel until about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
“I got good sleep, woke up, did my COVID test and got my results by 8 and then came and practiced a little bit,” he said.
Ancer says he never lost power at his house but, “I didn’t have water for like a day, no internet or cable.” He knows many others are having a much more difficult time.
“There were so many people without power and that was brutal,” he said. “I know a couple people that their house itself inside was like less than 40 degrees, so pretty chilly obviously. And not being able to cook or anything really, shower, it’s pretty rough. A lot of people had some like busted pipes and a lot of water damage inside the house. It’s just pretty rough.”
They haven’t played together other than in practice rounds, but Abraham Ancer and Matthew Wolff come into the QBE Shootout as the favorites.
NAPLES, Fla. — In the past few months, Abraham Ancer and Matthew Wolff became familiar with leaderboards at major championships.
This weekend, they’ll be getting familiar with each other. The two haven’t played together before other than a practice round here and there.
But the two come into the QBE Shootout, whose first round in the scramble format is Friday, with the top combined world golf ranking and the favorites.
“I haven’t known Abe too long, but I feel like the first time we met was probably about a year ago,” said Wolff, who played with Viktor Hovland in his first Shootout last year. “When I got out on Tour he was out here for a couple years. As soon as we met, he’s a really laid-back guy. I feel like I am, too, but I feel like that’s what’s going to make our team so nice.
“Just like not only our golf games are going to like work really well together, but also our personalities. We’re going to go out there, we both love winning, we both want to win and compete and we’ve been doing it for our whole lives, but at the end of the day we’re going out there having a good time, joking around.”
Neither of them were joking around a few months ago. They were in serious contention in major championships.
Ancer started the Masters in the final group, but did not play well. Wolff had the third-round lead in the U.S. Open, but Bryson DeChambeau pulled away to win it.
Neither had been in those situations before.
Ancer shot a 4-over 76 and tied for 13th at Augusta.
“I learned a lot my last round of the Masters,” Ancer said. “It was really cool to be in the last group for my first time playing there. It was a big-time group, too. Didn’t play my best. I definitely let one putt kind of get in my head and just didn’t feel really good after hole 2, but I mean I took a lot of notes.
“I was in spots on greens that I guess I didn’t do my homework well enough in my practice rounds, a couple of breaks that kind of threw me off. Other than that, the more I put myself in those situations, the better I’ll come out in other events.”

In the Open, Wolff shot 5 over par in the final round, but DeChambeau was 6 under and won by three.
“I didn’t get it done at the Open, but I felt like it was a really good—you know, really good place to put myself and I’ve learned a lot from it,” Wolff said. “I think I’ve grown as not only a player physically, but just mentally.
“I think the biggest thing I took away from being in that final group is just the comfort level of being out here because no matter who you are, no matter what tournament it is, we love competing and we always want to win. I think that sometimes in those stages, the U.S. Open and the Masters and the biggest stages in golf, you kind of get ahead of yourself and you kind of make the stage bigger than what it is.”
There is a bit of a unique quality to the team—Ancer went to Oklahoma, and Wolff went to rival Oklahoma State.
“The OU-OSU rivalry always will kind of be there, but for this week I’m really glad that he’s on my team,” Wolff said.
Ancer and Wolff are paired together because they have a mutual sponsor, Perficient. And they have a mutual agreement that their respective games will pair together well.
“Our games really like fit really well together,” Wolff said. “I’m obviously a little longer off the tee and so I’m going to try to go and mash it and have a lot shorter clubs in, and Abe’s an unbelievable wedger, iron player and putter and stuff and every part of his game is a strength and every part of my game is a strength.”
“Long story short, I’m going to hit the fairway and he’s going to go for it every single time,” Ancer said. “I’m going to try to secure the fairway and have a look at the green and he’s going to just rip it. I think it’s going to be fun. I’m really pumped and looking forward to (Friday).”
Wolff also said the two have a good plan going into the tournament, which has modified alternate shot on Saturday and better ball on Sunday. He said he and Hovland kind of got in their own way when it came to that last year.
“I think we almost over strategized last year with Viktor,” Wolff said. “I think like we were so like ‘OK, so Viktor’s going to go first off the tee.’ I mean, that was fine with the strategy, but then we got too much ‘Oh, whoever hits the approach shot on the green is going to be the first one to putt. And then as soon as that didn’t work, we like switched it up and we were trying to do a bunch of different things.”
Mexican golfers Carlos Ortiz and Abraham Ancer have enjoyed recent success on the PGA Tour while inspiring their fellow countrymen.
As Carlos Ortiz chased his first PGA Tour title at the Vivint Houston Open last month, Abraham Ancer was preparing to play a practice round ahead of his first Masters, the tournament he grew up dreaming of playing and had framed the invitation in his living room.
“But I was like, ‘I’ve got to go watch my boy win this thing,’” Ancer said. “I’ve never been that nervous watching somebody else play. I was actually freaking out there a little bit.”
As Ortiz lined up the winning 20-foot putt, Ancer watched from the Augusta National locker room with U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and filmed the moment on his phone.
“I’m like, ‘Man, he’s going to win.’ Bryson’s like, ‘Don’t jinx him.’ I said, ‘I’m not going to jinx him, he’s going to make this putt,’” Ancer recounted during a press conference on the eve of the Mayakoba Golf Classic. “He hit that putt maybe a little bit harder than he would have thought or would have wanted, but it went dead center and I was fist pumping, I was so pumped.”
In doing so, Ortiz became the first player from Mexico to win a PGA Tour event in more than 40 years and just the third Mexican native ever, joining Cesar Sanudo, who won the 1970 Azalea Open Invitational and Victor Regalado, who won twice at the 1974 Pleasant Valley Classic and 1978 Quad Cities Open. Afterwards, it took Ortiz five days to respond to his well-wishers, which included Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez, Formula 1 driver Checo Perez, and Mexico’s most-renowned golfer, World Golf Hall of Famer Lorena Ochoa, who set the bar high for Ortiz and all Mexican golfers with 27 LPGA Tour victories before she retired in 2010.
“She was on TV all the time and in my case, she definitely inspired me and helped me believe that working hard and doing things the right way, we’re able to achieve our goals,” Ortiz said.
Ortiz, 29, broke the long winless spell for Mexican golfers on the PGA Tour, but it likely won’t be long before Ancer or someone else follows in his footsteps. Ortiz and Ancer are leading a contingent of five Mexican golfers (and 11 Latin golfers in all) at this week’s Mayakoba Golf Classic at El Camaleon Golf Club in Riviera Maya, south of Cancun.

Ancer, 29, was born in the United States, but grew up in Reynoso, Mexico, and was introduced to the game by his father at the tender age of 2 or 3, he said, at Club Campestre de Reynoso. Asked at Augusta National to describe his childhood course, he cracked, “It’s just like this.”
“I was out there practicing every single day. I never really had to be told, hey, you need to go practice. I was always wanting to be out there and I just love, I love this sport. I love getting better and I feel like there’s so much to get better at still,” he said. “It’s a never-ending journey.”
Ancer’s family crossed back to the border town of McAllen, Texas, so that he could attend high school and pursue his dream of playing golf professionally. Ancer was named the 2010 Jack Nicklaus Award winner as the Junior College National Player of the Year at Odessa College in Texas and played three seasons at Oklahoma, where his college coach, Ryan Hybl, nicknamed him “The Eraser,” for his penchant to bounce back from a bogey with a birdie. Ancer realized his childhood dream of playing on the PGA Tour in 2015, but experienced a rude awakening as a rookie, none more so than when he witnessed the brilliance of Rory McIlroy for the first time at his Tour debut at the Safeway Open.
“I was hitting balls on the range, hitting 7-irons and it was kind of cold in the morning and Rory sets up next to me. I was like, man, this is awesome,” Ancer said. “He starts hitting these irons that just take off straight up in the air carrying 210 into the wind cold, like 5-irons. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t do that.’ I started thinking I need to hit it higher and farther, so I started tinkering and that was a terrible idea, but I just didn’t know better.”
Ancer missed his first nine cuts his rookie year and was relegated back to the Korn Ferry Tour, but that turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
“I didn’t play my game. I switched equipment, I did a bunch of things trying to play like the top guys in the world and that really hurt me. I mean, it went downhill quickly,” he said. “But I’m thankful I did that and I learned a lot of lessons really quickly. In those five short months I just played terrible golf. I learned so much, and right after that I was like, you know what, I’m going to go back to playing my game.”
¡Buen comienzo en el @MayakobaGolf con mariachis y un Patron edición especial! 🕺🏻🇲🇽

He found his stride, winning the 2018 Australian Open, becoming the first Mexican player to represent the International team for the Presidents Cup in 2019 and playing in the final group in his Masters debut last month before skying to a final-round 76 and T-13 finish when his putter let him down on Sunday. Ancer rued missing a short birdie putt at the par-5 second hole.
“I couldn’t really shake it off,” he said. “After that I didn’t really quite feel that comfortable over my putter throughout the round.”
Having risen to No. 22 in the Official World Golf Ranking, Ancer is one of the top-ranked players without a PGA Tour title to his credit, and there’s a growing sense that it is a matter of when, not if, he’ll bring another trophy home for Mexico.
“I think he’s been a great influence for the whole Mexican golf,” Ortiz said. “Even though we’re competing, I look up to him because he’s doing great things.”
Ortiz and Ancer likely will battle this week for the Premio Mexico trophy, which is awarded to the Mexican player with the best finish this week. Ortiz nearly won all the hardware last year, finishing tied for second in the tournament.
“Brendon Todd played unbelievable,” Ortiz said. “I did everything I could and then he won.”
Ortiz had his day in Houston and it’s one he will not soon forget.
“First two days it was kind of almost scary waking up thinking like it was all a dream, just wanted to make sure it was real,” he said.
Could there be a more perfect scenario for Ancer’s maiden victory than becoming the first Mexican to win at El Camaleon in the 14th year of the Mayakoba event? Ortiz doesn’t think so.
“Winning on your home soil would be a dream come true,” he said. “I think it’s coming.”
It pays to be a frontrunner at Augusta National as 32 of last 33 Masters winners were in the top 10 after 36 holes.
It’s Sunday at the Masters.
After three rounds of play, Dustin Johnson leads the field by three shots. Sungjae Im, Cameron Smith and Abraham Ancer are T-2, three shots back. Dylan Frittelli is fifth, five shots back. Justin Thomas is sixth, six shots back.
The extended reign as 2019 Masters champion will officially come to a conclusion for Tiger Woods on Sunday. Woods couldn’t get anything going in the third round and struggled to an even-par 72 that left him 11 shots out of the lead as he left the club. Brooks Koepka says he’s “just giving away shots, ” but he is 8 under and tied for 10th. Phil Mickleson with triple bogey en route to a third-round 79, tying his highest score in 28 Masters appearances.
Golfers will play off both tees once again and they go out in threesomes. The first golfers will tee off at 7:50 a.m., with the the leaders teeing off at 9:29 a.m. ET.

For the first time ever, there is a five-way tie for the lead after 36 holes at a major. The Masters third round starts at 10:30 a.m. ET.
We have made it to the weekend at the first-ever November Masters, where there is a five-way tie after 36 holes for the first time ever at a major championship.
After the second round was completed Saturday morning, the cut was made to the top 50 and ties. For the previous sevens years, the cut was was low 50 and ties as well as those within 10 shots of the lead.
Dustin Johnson shot 65-70 to share the lead with Abraham Ancer, Cameron Smith, Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm at 9-under 135. Thomas has felt he possessed the course knowledge and game plan to contend for a Masters title. A second-round 69 proves it. Tiger Woods is in prime position to defend his Masters title. The 15-time major champ birdied the 15th on Saturday morning to get to 5 under and he completed his second round by almost chipping in for birdie on 18. He will start his third round T-17, four shots back of the lead.
Bryson DeChambeau shot 70-74 to make the cut on the number, as did Jordan Spieth, Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa, among others. The cut was even par.
Fun fact: 32 of last 33 Masters winners were in the top 10 after 36 holes.
Golfers will continue starting on both tees this weekend. This is the first year they’ve ever had players start on 1 and 10. The third round will start at 10:30 a.m. ET.
