Mark Wahlberg just missed scoring a hole-in-one about a month ago during the Pebble Beach Pro-Am at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore Course. Just inches away from the big moment, the actor spun a 153-yard-shot for what wound up a rather disappointing birdie.
On Friday morning, however, luck was on Mark Wahlberg's side. The actor achieved his hole-in-one at Pelican Hill Golf Club. He was using one of Rory McIroy's balls. He proudly displayed it when sharing his excitement on social media.

Rory McIlroy lauded Mark Wahlberg--and remarked about the ball.
Nice!! 1 more hole in one than I've made with those golf balls this year! I'll have to catch up <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f44d.png" alt="
