Mimi Rhodes most certainly owes her playing partner Stephanie Kyriacou a drink or two, and perhaps a bit more after what unfolded on the par-3 5th in the final round of the AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl.
Kyriacou very nearly made an ace of her own, and for the second time this week when firing a dart to within inches of the hole.
How the Australian's ball didn't go down is anyone's guess as it looked in all the way only to move left at the very end.
Rhodes then stepped in and hit exactly the same shot.
With Kyriacou's ball resting to the left of the cup, Rhodes' ball deflected off her playing partner's and into the cup to huge cheers and applause by those watching on from the tee and up by the green.
Rhodes' shot will likely go down as one of the funniest and luckiest hole-in-ones of all time in major history.

Kyriacou, a two-time LET winner, started the final round of the AIG Women's Open in contention at 3-under par but she sent her approach shot into the 1st OB and it led to a disastrous triple-bogey to end her chances of a first major title.
To her credit she fought back valiantly to card a 1-under 71 and finish the week at 4-under par inside the top 10.
Rhodes, who has three LET titles to her name, went on to card a 74 to finish on 1-under par and just inside the top 20.
Kyriacou won't feel too bad about not making an ace on the 5th on Sunday as she made the first hole-in-one of the week on the 8th in the second round.
