Watch: Nicolas Echavarria wins a car after sinking in a hole-in-one at the Genesis Scottish Open

Nicolas Echavarria lit up The Renaissance Club on Thursday with a moment of brilliance that had fans and cameras buzzing. Nico Echavarria aced the par-3 Stadium Hole—the sixth—during the final round of the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club. After which, he claimed a brand-new Genesis Electrified GV60 SUV.

The PGA TOUR’s X account confirmed the news they shared on July 13. The caption of the post reads:

“Sinks an ace, wins a car! 🚗 Nico Echavarria gets a 1️⃣ in style on the stadium hole @ScottishOpen.”

Thanks to Genesis’s sponsorship, the first player to ace it this year would win the Electrified GV60. Echavarria stepped up, launched a clean iron shot, and watched as the ball landed near the front of the green, took a bounce, and rolled directly into the hole.

Echavarria finished the first round with 64, tying for the lead at six under alongside Sepp Straka, Victor Perez, and Jake Knapp.

Moving forward, Echavarria shot a second round 72, followed by a third round 72. He finished with a final round scorecard of 3 under 67. With that, let's look at the leaderboard of the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open after round 3.
