Rory McIlroy accomplished something he had never done before in his professional career on Friday: a hole-in-one.

McIlroy's ace on the par-3 15th at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship helped him to a 6-under 66, two strokes behind leader Martin Kaymer.

The hole-in-one was the third so far in the tournament. Both Miguel Angel Jimenez and Tom Lewis recorded one Thursday.
