As far as aces go, this one from Chase Koepka during the final round of LIV Golf Adelaide was pretty special.
The younger Koepka brother, 29, was firmly in the middle of the pack when the moment of the week arrived.
He had made three birdies in his first seven holes when he stepped up to No. 12, which the rival league had dubbed the Watering Hole.
LIV have accused the PGA Tour of nicking their ideas but the idea for this hole surely emanated from No. 16 at TPC Scottsdale.
Koepka had a 9-iron from 165 yards. The ball stopped 15 feet short and right of the hole before rolling into the bottom of the cup.
Cue scenes with Ian Poulter and Paul Casey.
Watch the moment here:
Koepka told the media:
"Yeah, obviously it was wild out there today again. I got up on the tee, and I was just trying to hit kind of like a trap draw 9-iron, something that we've just been working on all week, just trying to make sure I drew it.
"I hit it, and I knew it was good. I kind of thought if anything it was going to be a little deep, and I saw it kind of pitch in the up slope and take a soft bounce, and I was like, oh, it'll be close, and then the roars just kept getting louder and louder and louder, and when it went in, I started just getting peppered with beer cans. I smelled like beer the whole entire rest of the day.
"Yeah, it was wild. Crazy experience. I mean, obviously to do it on a hole like that was super special. It definitely gave the fans something to remember.
"The next couple hours I was out there, I was just getting ovation after ovation every time I walked up to every shot, every tee box. It was pretty cool. That's probably what
Cam Smith felt like the entire week, but at least I got a glimpse of it."
Of the celebrations, he said:
"Yeah. I mean, Poults, I think his ball was in the bunker, and his ball was getting peppered with beer cans. Paul had to wait about 25 minutes to hit. I was like, I'm so sorry I iced you.
"They were super excited for me. We just kept talking about it the whole day how cool that was. This has been the best tournament I think
LIV has had so far, and to be able to do that in front of that crowd is pretty special.
"Glad I followed it up and shot a nice round today of 66."
Koepka said it was the sixth hole-in-one of his life.
Surely this was the best, though?!
