The famous par-3 17th at TPC Sawgrass has delivered countless moments of excitement over the years. One of those moments was Fred Couples’s hole-in-three par in 1999.

Early in Thursday’s first round of the Players Championship, Justin Lower made a Hole-In-Three of his own.

After flying the green into the water on his tee shot, the 35-year-old re-teed in the drop zone and decided to play a low-flighted shot into the back-left hole location. The ball took one bounce and then fell into the cup, giving Lower a par on the hole.

Zero putts. One water ball. Two swings.

Three.

Take a bow (and a breath), @JustinLower_1.
