Rory McIlroy hit his first hole-in-one on the PGA Tour as Denny McCarthy took the opening-round lead with a brilliant 60 at the Travelers Championship.
The Northern Irishman's ace on the par-three 214-yard eighth was his highlight of a mixed session, as the US Open runner-up finished two-under-par.
McCarthy, 30, shot the lowest round of his career after four straight birdies to open his tournament.
He added six more without dropping a shot to finish 10-under-par.
"I felt positive from the second I woke up this morning," said McCarthy,. "So, everything just kind of clicked today. It was obviously just a great day."
The American leads the Connecticut tournament by two from compatriot Keegan Bradley and Australian Adam Scott.
World number one Scottie Scheffler finished with a seven-under 63.
