To the US golf Open, and the ninth hole of the Pinehurst number two course, where Francesco Molinari needed a hole-in-one to make the cut

The Italian veteran's hole in one was just the 53rd in US Open history as you heard there on Sky Sport, mimicking Sepp Straka who did the same earlier in the day.

Ryan Fox had an easier putt of less than a metre to likely make the projected cut of five-over for the tournament.

Sweden's Ludvig Aberg has the one-shot clubhouse lead at five-under ahead of a chasing pack of four... Rory McIlroy a shot further back on three under.

Tiger Woods has missed the cut - he's seven-over. GOLF COVERAGE WITH CROWN... THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A NEW CROWN. SIMPLY THE BEST
