Justin Rose makes first hole-in-one in 112 years and maybe ever at the Olympics
This is the first ace at the Olympics in 112 years and there's a great chance it's never happened before

Justin Rose put a charge into the 2016 Rio Olympics on Thursday morning by making the first hole-in-one of this year's tournament on the par-3 fourth hole to get back to even par on his day.
The ace is obviously the first of the tournament and thus the first in the Olympics in 112 years (and possibly ever).
Ever the sportsman, Rose had a great time with the theatrics afterwards as he posed for the masses in Rio. It was a legitimately cool moment. The Englishman was one of the top five favorites coming into competition this week, but this is just his second ace in his PGA Tour career.

It's also true that bar tab is going to be monstrous. Thankfully, Rose has made nearly $50 million in his career.
There are millions of people in Rio this week. Gonna be a hefty bar tab for Justin Rose.
