Watch: With one swing, Jordan Smith won he and his caddie new cars at 2022 Genesis Scottish Open

It’s not every day you see a hole-in-one at the golf course. It’s even harder to witness one that comes with it a couple large gifts.

That’s what happened Friday during the second round of the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. England’s Jordan Smith stepped onto the 17th tee box on a 193-yard par-3 with a simple caveat.

Make a hole-in-one, win new cars for both he and his caddie.

That’s exactly what he did.

Green’s tee shot landed at the front of the green before using the slope to funnel to the front left pin position. The ball continued shuffling towards the hole before tumbling in the back side of the cup.

The ace won Smith, who’s 122nd in the Official World Golf Ranking, a Genesis electric GV70, a luxury midsized SUV while his caddie won a Genesis GV60, an electric crossover.

The ace came on Smith’s penultimate hole, helping him card a 1-under 69 in his second round. He’s well inside the projected cut line, sitting at 3-under for the tournament and tied for eighth with the afternoon wave still to play.
