Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn aced the par-3 16th hole during the final round of the FM Championship on Sunday in Norton, Mass.

The 12-time LPGA Tour winner’s tee shot from 118 yards hopped in the cup on the last par 3 at TPC Boston, a shot with her gap wedge that ultimately lifted Jutanugarn to a closing 2-under 70 in her 15th tournament of the 2025 LPGA Tour season just outside of Bean Town.

“I got 118, a little bit downwind, and I hit gap wedge,” Jutanugarn said. “I've been struggle all day, all week, and have a tough week, so I just make like two birdies today and my score is even. I told myself, if I can finish under, be nice, so I hit it pretty good, and people clap. I thought it's went in the hole, so that's it.”

The ace is the major champion’s fourth career hole-in-one on Tour and first since she holed out on the par-3 17th hole in the third round of the 2022 BMW Ladies Championship, which was held that year at Oak Valley Country Club in Wonju, Republic of Korea.

It’s the 15th hole-in-one to be recorded on the LPGA Tour this year and first since The Standard Portland Classic, which saw both Caroline Masson and Haeran Ryu make aces in the first and third rounds, respectively.

In honor of Jutanugarn’s hole-in-one, CME Group will make a $20,000 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as part of their CME Group Cares Challenge – Score 1 for St. Jude campaign. The Challenge is a charitable giving program that turns aces into donations to St. Jude in support of childhood cancer and research.

Jutanugarn’s ace raises the 2025 donation total to $300,000, with a minimum of $500,000 going to the organization at the conclusion of the 2025 season, no matter how many holes-in-one are made throughout the year.
