Emiliano Grillo is at the TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course to compete in the ongoing WM Phoenix Open. Grillo, 32, is competing in this tournament after he failed to make the cut in tournaments such as the Sony Open in Hawaii and The American Express in California.

While Grillo's performances in these tournaments were not his best, the same can't be said for what he did in Round 2 of the WM Phoenix Open. In the second round on Friday, Grillo sunk in a hole-in-one on the 16th hole, which drew a wild reaction from the crowd.

You can check Emiliano Grillo's hole-in-one on the 16th hole in Round 2 of the 2025 WM Phoenix Open below:

Emiliano Grillo's shot on the 155-yard hole swirled around a few times before it found its place in the hole. It's also worth noting that Grillo's hole-in-one in Round 2 was the 12th ace scored on the iconic 16th hole at the TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course.

After hitting the hole-in-one, the Argentine shared his thoughts on the same and said (via FoxSports):

“It was perfect. Perfect number, just a full shot, pitching wedge. It was a little bit of a delayed reaction because we don’t see it really well from (155 yards). Just the crowd went nuts, so did I.”

After playing 18 holes in Round 2 of the WM Phoenix Open, Emiliano Grillo scored 2-under par. Grillo scored one eagle and three birdies on Friday and is currently tied at 62nd position.
