Victor Perez just etched his name into the U.S. Open history books.

The Frenchman notched the second hole-in-one ever made at Oakmont Country Club during the U.S. Open. Perez teed off on the par-3 Hole 6 during Friday's second round, and the ball landed on the green and quickly rolled into the hole. The crowd at Oakmont cheered extremely loudly after Perez's electric shot.

Perez himself celebrated accordingly by belly bumping his caddie after he learned the shot went in the hole. Not every day does a golfer get to say they shot an ace during the U.S. Open.

This is Oakmont's 10th time hosting the U.S. Open. In that span, Perez's ace was just the second recorded during the major tournament, with the only other one coming from Scott Simpson in 1983 on the 16th hole.

In 125 years of the U.S. Open, there have now been 49 hole-in-ones. The most recent one came at last year's U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 from Sepp Straka. Perez now gets to join the exclusive club of golfers who can say they shot an ace at the U.S. Open.
