BOLTON, Mass.—Matthew Wolff became a footnote in LIV Golf history with the first hole-in-one, an ace that carried him to a 7–under 63 and a one-shot lead over a pair of newcomers Friday in the LIV Golf Invitational-Boston.

One of those newcomers was British Open champion Cameron Smith, among six players who recently joined the Saudi-funded league.
