Park hit an 8-iron roughly 144 yards on the par-3 number 8.
“That was really unexpected, out of blue hole in one. I was just glad that I got on the green,” Park said. “I had my last ace during a Stanford intercollegiate, and that was my fourth or fifth, so this will be my fifth or sixth,” she said when asked how many aces she has shot.
Park, made the cut for Saturday with a total score of 1 under par after the hole-in-one on the par-3 No.8 and subsequent birdies on Nos. 14 and 15.
The top 30 players will advance to round three which is played at the Augusta National Golf Club on Saturday.
