Tommy Fleetwood makes "SPECIAL" hole-in-one during round one of The Masters
It was Tommy Fleetwood's second ace in as many weeks, following his hole-in-one at the WGC Match Play up with another at Augusta National.
Tommy Fleetwood might not be winning tournaments right now, or even competing at the level he expects to, but he's making a name for himself when it comes to aces, after he made his second hole-in-one in as many tournaments.
The Englishman hasn't been in top form as of late and he was off to a very slow start during the opening round of The Masters, approaching the 16th tee four over par, without registering a single birdie.
The firm and fast Augusta greens had been proving very challenging on Thursday, with many players saying it's the fastest they had seen the course play in years, making ball control even more difficult on the par-3's.
Fleetwood stepped onto the iconic par-3 16th with a 9-iron in hand and took an aggressive line, which seriously paid off.

"It was a lovely looking shot!" Fleetwood said after finishing the opening round 2-over par. "It was in between clubs and I was verging on a smooth eight (iron), but Finno [Ian Finnis, caddie] said a hard nine.
"It was a slight pull, it wasn't going straight at the pin, but it was still a great shot and made a couple of bounces and in! The course is playing hard and up until that point I had zero momentum, so it was nice to do something special and get something out of the round."
Fleetwood's ace could end up making a huge difference to his tournament and he will look to use that momentum on Friday in what is expected to be another tough day at Augusta National.
