PGA Tour player Greyson Sigg made one of the strangest hole-in-ones ever in the third round of the World Wide Technology Championship, because he didn't even know he made it.

Sigg revealed after the round on Saturday that after he watched his shot land on hole 10, he rushed to the bathroom. It was only then that a bathroom attendant told him his ball was in the bottom of the cup.

The commentary team celebrated and reported that this was the third hole-in-one of the week and the second of the day. Seamus Power also made an ace on the 8th hole at El Camaleon.

"We couldn't see it go in, no one really made any reaction. So I threw my club to my caddie and I took off and I came in the locker room, went to the bathroom, and as I was walking out, one of the locker room attendants was like, 'Great shot, hole-in-one', and I was like, 'No way'," Sigg said.

"I like still didn't even really think because I was trying to hurry and get back out. And as a rules official was taking me back down, they were like on the green like doing like this. So it was a pretty funny story. I didn't see it go in, nor did I even get the ball out of the hole."

It was the 27-year-old's first hole-in-one on the PGA Tour and it was the fifth of his career. It was the most perfect 7-iron he has ever hit and it helped him to reach tied seventh on the leaderboard on 13-under-par.

Sigg earned his first PGA Tour card in 2021 after coming second on the Korn Ferry Tour points list. He qualified for the FedEx Cup Playoffs in 2022 in his rookie season.

Despite carding impressive rounds of 66, 67 and 67 so far in Mexico, he is nine shots behind the runaway leader Russell Henley who has opened up a six-shot advantage at the top of the pile.

Henley hasn't won on the Tour since the Shell Houston Open in 2017. His current lead is the largest on Tour since Jon Rahm pulled away from the field at the 2021 Memorial Tournament. He was later forced to withdraw with Covid-19.
