Neal Shipley Hits TGL’s First Hole-in-One on Debut as The Bay Beats Los Angeles

A 110-yard strike at No. 5 at the SoFi Center followed a hot‑mic call from teammate Luke Clanton.

Overview

  • Shipley’s wedge on the 110-yard par-3 fifth spun back into the cup, marking the first ace in the league’s brief history.
  • The Bay defeated Los Angeles Golf Club, with most outlets reporting an 11-5 final while at least one listed 9-5.
  • He later holed a 16-foot putt on Hole 14 to put the match out of reach for Los Angeles.
  • Broadcast audio captured Clanton asking for a hole-in-one before the shot, and Shipley’s celebration with Min Woo Lee and Clanton followed.
  • The 25-year-old Ohio State alum and PGA Tour rookie, who earned low-amateur honors at the 2024 Masters and U.S. Open, said he will count the ace in his personal tally.
