How many hole-in-ones? No. 2 all-time on LPGA list Jodi Ewart Shadoff has staggering number of career aces

Jodi Ewart Shadoff was joking about her tee shot on No. 12 at the Kroger Queen City Championship on Friday to quell her anxiety about the attempt, moments before it went in. She also had no idea when it did, what it meant for her standing on the LPGA's list of players with most all-time hole-in-ones.

Regardless of the lead up to the result — or the delayed reaction to it, Friday's second round was a day worthy of celebration for Ewart Shadoff. The 38-year-old English native shot a 4-under 66 and moved into a tie for 10th place at Maketewah Country Club. She's also now second all-time in that aforementioned list of players with most aces on the LPGA Tour at 7 .

"It's funny because we were stood on the 11th green and I said to my caddie, 'I have no idea how I'm going to get it close on the next tee shot' and he was like, 'Well, you can just hit the pin,'" Ewart Shadoff recalled to reporters after the round. "We laughed it off, and I hit really, really good shot," she added. "It landed like in the walkway and went up and hit the pin and went in.

It was funny. " Ewart Shadoff, who last won at the 2022 Mediheal Championship, expected to lay up on the right front edge on the green. "The kick that it took, kind of took a left kick, so I thought it was going to be in the middle of the green to be honest," she said.
