Brendon Todd aced the eighth hole Friday at the Players Championship, earning the first hole-in-one of his PGA Tour career.

As he approached the sixth tee at TPC Sawgrass, Todd was sitting even par on the round after bogeying the par-4 sixth two holes earlier and starting his round with a birdie on No. 2.

Todd, who won twice on Tour last season, teed off at the 213-yard, par 3 hole with a 5-wood. The ace was the seventh hole-in-one at No. 8 in Players Championship history and the first since Michael Thompson in the first round of the 2013 tournament.

The 35-year-old was T-56 at even par at the turn on Friday and 2 under on the round.
