Buckley’s first career hole-in-one came in 2021 at the Shriners Children’s Open, also on the 17th hole in the first round. 

"I had a little feeling something like that might happen this week. I don't know, I've been hitting it well, but it's always nice to see it happen on that hole, too," Buckley said after the round, via Golf Channel.
