American Harris English made a spectacular ace on the 8th hole of the Charles Schwab Challenge's second round. With that shot, he achieved an eagle that. So far, it keeps him at the top of the leaderboard.

Harris English reached the eighth hole with a score of -6, two strokes behind Harry Hall, who had not started his round yet. It is a 170-yard, par 3 hole, so English tried to put his ball on the green with a long swing. And boy did he succeed. His ball traveled 121 MPH, bounced off the rough, rolled onto the green, and went straight into the hole.

After the play, Harris English even improved his performance at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He got a birdie on the 12th hole (he had gotten one earlier on hole 1). In this way, he finished the round with -4 to round off a -9 overall, the best of the tournament so far.

This is the second hole-in-one in less than a week on the PGA Tour. The reactions of the fans were not long in coming, both about the play and English's inexpressive reaction. Let's see some of what they posted on Twitter:
