WATCH: PGA Tour player Kris Ventura makes a hole-in-one at the American Express

Kris Ventura was last seen at the 2025 American Express last week, though he couldn't make the cut at the event. Despite not being able to play the full four-day schedule of the tournament, Ventura did record a special hole-in-one. Any hole-in-one is a rare feat that is not easily achieved, but the 29-year-old managed to sink his ball from 208 yards.

The Norwegian was aiming for a hole across a pond. The ball landed a few meters away from the hole and rolled down to drop into it. The PGA Tour shared this incredible moment from the 2025 American Express on their X handle. The video even shows the trajectory of the shot.

Ventura carded a score of 10-under before being cut from the tournament. Sepp Straka of Austria went on to win the title with a score of 25-under on Sunday.
