Fowler's shot from 216 yards out took three hops before settling and rolling into the bottom of the cup – it was his third ace as a pro.
There were a lot of shapes on Fowler's scorecard for the front nine – he bogeyed two and birdied three, but his ace brought him to -11 on the tournament – however, he bogeyed eight and nine to go six shots back of the lead.
It was the fifth ace at the seventh hole in tournament history – Scott Piercy drilled one on the hole back in 2020.
