Frenchman Victor Perez has delivered a beauty... at the beast.
Perez hit a stunning hole-in-one during his second round at the US Open on Friday - the first at Oakmont, nicknamed ‘The Beast’, since 1983.

He made a hole-in-one at the 192-yard, par-three sixthThe brutal 7,342-yard Par 70 course has already lived up to its name by wreaking havoc with some of golf's top players.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler smashed his driver on the tee box after allowing his frustrations to boil over ahead of the cut.
However, Perez found himself at the complete opposite end of the mood scale after acing the 192-yard par-three sixth hole.
The 32-year-old expertly removed Oakmont's unforgiving rough and punishing greens from the equation with his highlight swing.
Perez rifled his seven-iron tee shot towards the flag and watched as it bounced three times on the green before rolling into the hole.
If his shot was a thing of beauty, Oakmont fittingly experienced the 'belly of the beast' during the wild celebrations that followed.
Perez chest-bumped his caddie James Erkenbeck before taking plaudits from playing partners Jacob Bridgeman and Adam Schenk.
“Major-league chest bump,” exclaimed Mike Tirico on Peacock.

Perez has now joined an exclusive club after delivering just the second hole-in-one in a US Open at Oakmont in its tenth edition.
It is the first since Scott Simpson on the par-three 16th hole during the first round in 1983, and makes Perez the first European to do so.
Overall, it is the 49th hole-in-one that has been sunk during the 125 years of the US Open.
The most recent came last year when Sepp Straka aced the 194-yard ninth hole at Pinehurst No.2 - also in Friday's second round.
Crucially, Perez's effort went some way towards repairing some of the damage done by a triple-bogey eight on the par-five 12th.
His hole-in-one also moved him from three over par to one over and into the top 15 on the leaderboard.
The three-time DP World Tour winner is playing in his sixth US Open, having failed to make the cut in his first five appearances.
Perez remains in the hunt to secure his career-best finish at a major, which was 12th in the 2023 PGA Championship.
