Jackson Herrington records hole-in-one at U.S. Amateur

golfer Jackson Herrington made his U.S Amateur Championship match play debut with a victory Wednesday at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.

Herrington, a Dickson, Tennessee native and incoming freshman for the Vols, converted a hole-in-one in his victory during the Round of 64 against Sohan Patel.

He defeated Patel, 4 and 3, and recorded the first hole-in-one in U.S. Amateur match play since 2018.

Herrington lost the first hole against Patel and never trailed after. He recorded birdies on the seventh and ninth holes to earn a plus-two advantage.

Herrington made his fifth career hole-in-one on the par-three 13th hole. He will next compete against Luis Masaveu in the Round of 32.
