He said that\u2019s his 15th career ace.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey’re all kind of becoming a bit of a blur over the years,\u201d McDowell said. \u201cIt’s been about 30 years of them. They’re all fun. They’re all special. Nice to do it with a card in your pocket in a tournament. I think that’s probably half-a-dozen maybe in tournament play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Of the five aces recorded by LIV Golf players at Hong Kong Golf Club, McDowell has the first at the fifth hole.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s a couple of wedge par-3s here that you’re kind of licking your chops. No. 5, you don’t really stand on that tee licking the chops too much,\u201d he said. \u201cMy caddie was trying to steer me a little left of the flag, and I said to him, I think we have enough club in our hands to kind of go after it a little bit. I didn’t really listen to him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n On Thursday, Cleeks Golf Club<\/a> newcomer Victor Perez<\/a> aced the second hole<\/a>.
