Rory McIlroy is on a serious hot streak.

2014 saw the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world win two major championships, play a pivotal part in securing a European Ryder Cup Victory and signed a $200 million endorsement deal with Nike.

If the second round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship is any idicator, 2015 will be another good year for the 25-year-old North Irishman.

Check out the hole-in-1 — the first of Rory’s career —  he landed during play on Friday.

That’s a good way to start the year.

Rory wasn’t the only player to net an ace in Abu Dhabi. Miguel Angel Jimenez had a hole-in-1 on the same hole during the first round on Thursday.
