A par-4 hole-in-one has been recorded on the PGA Korn Ferry Tour, the developmental circuit below the PGA Tour.

Golfweek reported on the 27th (local time) that Ross Steelman of the United States holed his ball with a single driver shot on the 15th hole (par 4, 352 yards) during the final fourth round of the Korn Ferry Tour's Evans Scholars Invitational, held at The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois.

This marks the sixth time a par-4 hole-in-one has occurred on the Korn Ferry Tour. Since Chip Beck became the first to record a par-4 hole-in-one at the 2003 Omaha Classic, the feat has been achieved by Richard Johnson in 2009, Rahil Gangjee in 2011, Rob Oppenheim in 2012, Timmy Crawford in 2024, and now Steelman.

Golfweek reported that, in terms of distance, Steelman's hole-in-one is the second-longest par-4 hole-in-one in Korn Ferry Tour history. The longest on record is the 365-yard shot Crawford made at the 2024 Blue Championship.

In a video posted on the Korn Ferry Tour's Instagram, Steelman was seen walking down the fairway, high-fiving his playing partners and caddie in celebration, and as he lifted the ball out of the hole, the gallery applauded and cheered.

Thanks to the par-4 hole-in-one, Steelman finished the tournament in third place.
