For the second straight week, there is a hole-in-one on the PGA Tour.&nbsp; Ludvig Aberg made a hole-in-one on hole No. 3 during the third round at the Genesis Invitational after Emiliano Grillo made one at the Phoenix Open’s famed 16th hole last week.&nbsp; Aberg, 25, was 140 yards out and used a pitching wedge. The hole was slightly down hill from the tee box.&nbsp; CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM  Aberg landed it just a few feet behind the pin, and then it spun back and rattled around the hole before falling in.&nbsp; It was the first hole-in-one of Aberg’s PGA Tour career.&nbsp; Aberg and the reaction to his shot was much more subdued than the reaction to Grillo's at the infamous 16th hole.&nbsp; Aberg put his hands in the air and fist-pumped before getting congratulations from his caddy.&nbsp; TIGER WOODS TO PLAY IN TGL AFTER BACKING OUT OF GENESIS INVITATIONAL OVER RECENT PASSING OF HIS MOTHER  Aberg came into the day at 4-under par, and as of press time he is seven-under par through eight holes in a tie for second place with Scottie Scheffler and Denny McCarthy.
