File this one under “so statistically impossible it should never happen.”
During the annual Par 3 contest preceding The Masters on Wednesday, Justin Thomas dropped a hole-in-one on No. 4…
Only to be matched by Rickie Fowler on the very next shot. As you can imagine, the Augusta faithful went NUTS.
Just unreal. Granted the pins are placed in particularly easy locations for the Par 3, but what are the odds?
The duo took a picture to commemorate the once in a lifetime occurrence, and there’s no doubt the replay will be shown time and time again during this weekend’s coverage.
Wednesday’s Par 3 saw the most aces in the history of the contest, with eight NINE players writing 1s on their score cards (at the time of writing).
The legendary Gary Player dropped in on No. 7…
As did David Lingmerth…
AND 2015 Open Championship victor, Zach Johnson.
European Tour regular Andy Sullivan also accomplished the feat on No. 5…
And Webb Simpson must’ve liked the way No. 9 was looking, because he did as well.
Then Jimmy Walker dropped the first 1 of the day on No. 2!
And Smylie Kaufman followed those seven up with one of his own on No. 8.
It’s raining Aces out here!!!
