It\u2019s an age-old adage to \u201cact like you\u2019ve been there before\u201d. Essentially, it means be a good winner. Tip your cap, shake hands and move on to the next one, even if you\u2019re jumping around like a maniac inside.<\/p>\n
FROM THE VAULT: Eddie Pepperell reveals shocking pace of play fines on DP World Tour<\/a><\/p>\n Because hole-in-ones are so rare, though, golfers are usually afforded more wiggle room. We regularly see groups of grown, screaming men sprinting towards the green with their arms outstretched in wing formation and we don\u2019t bat an eye. In most cases, they haven\u2019t been there before and never will again, so we allow it.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re a pro\u2019s pro like Eddie Pepperell<\/a>, who came into this week\u2019s Soudal Open with three DP World Tour holes-in-one to his name, more is expected, however. Overnight (Australian time) at Rinkven International Golf Club, the wise-cracking Brit rose to the occasion after making a mind-boggling fourth career ace.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 \ud835\udc07\ud835\udc0e\ud835\udc0b\ud835\udc04-\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc0d-\ud835\udc0e\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc04 \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n EDDIE PEPPERELL MAKES HIS FOURTH CAREER ACE ON HIS 300TH DP WORLD TOUR START!#SoudalOpen<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/VeD8jOMBgS<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) May 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Not only was it Pepperell\u2019s fourth ace, but it came on the occasion of his 300th DP World Tour start. Given the context, we wouldn\u2019t have blamed Pepperell for uncorking a little double-fists-to-the-sky action a la Bryson DeChambeau\/Steve Holt. Instead, he just stood there and stared at it for a minute, completely expressionless, before giving a meek fist pump to the camera, cracking a smile and shaking the hands of his playing partners. Then again, maybe we shouldn\u2019t be surprised, because Pepperrell literally has been there before. Four times now. Perhaps he\u2019s simply getting used to it.<\/p>\n “It feels at least double (than 300 starts) but I’ve had about 300 swing thoughts already through eight holes!
