Updated June 14, 2019 There have been 45 U.S. Open aces in the history of this major championship, which goes back to 1895. That means a hole-in-one happens in, roughly, a third of U.S. Opens played. Every one of those aces is listed below. But before we get there, let's dig into the names and numbers a little bit and see what nuggets of trivia we can uncover. Who Made the First US Open Ace? Jack Hobens is little-known today, but his name will forever be in the golf history books: He made the first known U.S. Open ace. A Scotsman by birth, Hobens entered the 1899 British Open, then emigrated to the United States in 1900 and took a club job in New Jersey. Hobens entered the U.S. Open several times, and finished as high as fourth (in both 1907 and 1909). And it was in the 1907 U.S. Open that he holed out on the 147-yard 10th hole at Philadelphia Cricket Club during the second round. The first known hole-in-one at the U.S. Open. Hobens later was part of an organizing committee that helped in the formation of the PGA of America. Has Any Golfer Scored More Than One US Open Ace? Yes, there is one golfer with two holes-in-one during the U.S. Open: Tom Weiskopf. Weiskopf scored an ace at the 1978 Open, then got another one in 1982. Amateur Aces at the US Open Dick Chapman in 1950, Billy Kuntz in 1956 and Spencer Levin in 2004 all notched U.S. Open holes-in-one playing the tournament as amtaeurs. Does the name Dick Chapman mean anything to you? If you're a student of golf history, it does. Chapman was a winner of the U.S. Amateur and British Amateur championships and played The Masters 19 times. He also invented the golf format that we call Chapman System or Pinehurst System today. Father-and-Son Holes-in-One Yes, a father-and-son pair of golfers both made holes-in-one during U.S. Open play. And the dad is a hall-of-famer. In 1982, Johnny Miller made an ace at Pebble Beach. Twenty years later, at Bethpage Black, Andy Miller added the family's second U.S. Open ace. Longest and Shortest US Open Aces The shortest hole-in-one recorded at the USGA's national open was 108 yards. Todd Fischer got it in 2000. And the longest: the 229-yard hole-out by Shawn Stefani in 2013. (Note that yardage is not available for all the aces listed below.) Four Holes-in-One in the Same Day Not only did four golfers ace the same hole on the same day at the 1989 U.S. Open, they all used the same club ... and the aces all happened within two hours of each other. Between 8:15 a.m. and 10:15 a.m., on Oak Hill Country Club's No. 6 hole, Drew Weaver, Mark Weibe, Jerry Pate and Nick Price all holed out for 1s. All four golfers used a 7-iron on the downhill, 159-yard hole. Not only did the feat establish a tournament record for most aces in one round, but also for most aces in a single U.S. Open. And that record still stands. (Today, there is a plaque commemorating the event on the teeing ground.) Has An Acer Ever Gone On to Win the Tournament? No. A handful of U.S. Open champions have made a hole-in-one in the Open, but not in the year they won the tournament. No golfer has yet scored an aced during a U.S. Open and gone on to win that same tournament.
