—
The winner of the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic is off to another red hot start in Detroit.
Nate Lashley, who took home the 2019 tournament at 25-under par, took an early lead on the field on Thursday morning when he knocked home a hole-in-one on his second tee shot of the day.
Lashley, who teed off on the back nine and had made a par on his opening hole, stepped to the No. 11 tee — a par-3 playing 217 yards — with a middle-iron in hand as he stared down the smaller, circular green which is surrounded by bunkers on three sides.
Not to be deterred, the world No. 123 player hoisted a baby-cut in the air and watched as it continued to drift right.
Though it landed in the fringe just a few feet to the right of the hole location which was already on the right side of the green, it took a friendly hop back meet toward the hole, bounced twice and trickled in.
🚨 ACE ALERT 🚨
A 217-yard hole-in-one for @NateLashley on his second hole @RocketClassic!
