If there was any discussion around which final round pairing at the Tour Championship would produce the most highlight-worthy shots on Sunday, Justin Rose and Si Woo Kim put that debate to bed at the turn at East Lake Golf Club.
Weaponizing his 6-iron at the par-3 ninth hole, Rose went from the tee box to the bottom of the cup — good for his fourth career hole-in-one. It was the first ace surrendered at the hole since 2019 when Xander Schauffele carded a third-round hole-in-one at No. 9.
The big shot helped the 46-year-old Rose get to an even 35 on his front nine, erasing damage done by a pair of par-4 bogeys at No. 1 and No. 8.
SLAM DUNK FOR ROSE 🤩

Kim didn’t waste much time submitting his own spectacular shot.
At the par-4 10th hole, the South Korean native’s approach shot on the fairway went 120 yards onto the green before rolling into the hole for an eagle.
Kim’s hole-out got him to 10 under on the tournament. He gave a stroke back at No. 11, where he bogeyed after missing his par putt attempt left.
The back nine rollercoaster didn’t stop there for the world’s No. 13-ranked player as Kim birdied at the par-4 12th hole to move inside the top 10 on the leaderboard.
Rose bogeyed the same hole Kim eagled at before going birdie-birdie to tie move to 9 under through the first dozen holes of day’s final round.
Back-to-back holes, back-to-back eagles!
