"British Open: Historic Hole-in-One and Bunker Changes Spark Excitement"
Travis Smyth made history at the British Open by scoring the first-ever hole-in-one at Royal Liverpool's new 17th hole, known as "Little Eye." The 132-yard par 3 hole has proven to be challenging for players, with various hazards surrounding it. Smyth's ace is the first at the Open since 2021 and the first at Royal Liverpool since 2006. The short 17th hole is expected to play a significant role in the outcome of the tournament.
