Victor Perez's time on the notoriously challenging Oakmont golf course Friday proved to be memorable. The French golfer carded a rare ace during second-round competition at the U.S. Open.

It was just the second hole-in-one on record in a U.S. Open at Pennsylvania's Oakmont Country Club. Perez aced on the par-3 sixth hole Friday, using a 7-iron to hit the shot from 192 yards.

The ball bounced a few times before eventually rolling roughly three feet into the cup.

An animated Perez raised his arms before giving his caddie a chest bump. Perez also celebrated with his playing partners, Adam Schenk and Jacob Bridgeman, as spectators applauded. 

Perez admitted nailing an ace isn't solely based on skill.

"Obviously, a hole-in-one takes a little bit of luck," Perez said. "Honestly, I was trying to hit something maybe 15-20 feet past the hole. Maybe it spun a little more and bounced in. I was a little fortunate, which I'll definitely take."

According to Perez, it was the ninth ace of his career. He said he made two in the Bahamas — at his home course — but no one could corroborate it because he was playing alone at the time.

"They didn't believe me at home because I was playing by myself," Perez said. "Now, they'll know."

The last known ace when Oakmont hosted a U.S. Open happened in 1983. Scott Simpson carded an ace that year on the 16th hole in the first round.

The ace helped Perez recover from a rough second-round start. He ended the second round in a tie for sixth place at 1-over. 

Sam Burns ended the day at the top of the leaderboard at 3-under. Burns finished last year's U.S. Open in a tie for ninth place.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is getting roasted for his response Thursday to South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace's question during a House Oversight Committee hearing where several of the country's governors testified. 

"What is a woman?" Mace asked Walz after several minutes of the two officials going back and forth over various topics. Mace peppered Walz with questions about comparing immigration officials to the Gestapo, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, his time in China in the late 1980s, his time in the military, school shooters and other topics.

Walz paused to gather himself before responding.

"I'm not sure I understand the question here," Walz told Mace. "What do you want me to say?"

Mace then ripped into Walz. 

"I want you to say that a woman like me is an adult human female. That men can't become women," Mace shot back. "You guys are the party of violence, and you're the party erasing women. You don't respect us. You're a bigot. You're a misogynist. You're a sexist. Mr. Chairman, I yield back."

Walz attempted to respond, but the Republican chairman of the committee moved on to the next questioner as Walz laughed off the question.

"Tampon Tim Walz couldn’t define a woman today in GOP Oversight when I had him in the pressure cooker," Mace said on social media with a video of the exchange. "He was speechless.

"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who just allowed a boy to win a girl’s state title in his state and was supposed to win male voters for Kamala, is asked by Nancy Mace what a woman is, he says he doesn’t understand the question," Clay Travis, commentator and founder of Outkick, said on X.

"Governor Walz has failed Minnesota. During yesterday's testimony, he refused to take accountability, wouldn’t apologize for calling law enforcement agents the "gestapo," and couldn’t even tell us what a woman was," Kendall Qualls, a Republican running against Walz for governor, added on X.
