Former PGA Tour pro Smylie Kaufman called out golf influencer Jersey Jerry's TGL hole-in-one after making an ace on a simulator. Jerry grabbed attention last year in January when he spent around 37 hours on a simulator, attempting 2,627 shots before finally managing the hole-in-one. He later tried to make the hole-in-one on the TGL simulator ahead of the series' first season.
Recently, Kaufman made an ace on the TGL simulator at the par-3, 135-yard hole. The former American golfer was excited about his achievement and called out Jerry. After making the hole-in-one, Kaufman ran around the SoFi center and then said(1:09):
"Check it out! Hey Jersey Jerry, where you at? Come on here."
Kaufman then had a FaceTime call with PGA Tour pro Justin Thomas and happily told him about his hole-in-one. The Smylie Show shared a video of Kaufman's amazing celebration after making the hole-in-one on the TGL simulator on its X account along with the caption:
"On The Rocks. 135-yard par three. ☝️ Come along for a roller coaster ride with @SmylieKaufman10 - a callout for @Jerrythekid21, a FaceTime with @JustinThomas34, and a ball at the bottom of the cup (thanks to some screen-zone-to-green-zone magic by the @TGL crew 😂) And make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube - Smylie re-creates the top shots of the TGL season, coming."
While Smylie Kaufman challenged Jersey Jerry on the hole-in-one, the golf influencer is yet to reply to the former American golfer.
