Louis Oosthuizen Makes Incredible Hole-In-One At Masters

South African Louis Oosthuizen made an amazing hole-in-one in the final of the golf Masters in Augusta on Sunday, during which an unprecedented three aces were scored at the 16th hole.

Louis Oosthuizen Makes Incredible Hole-In-One At Masters

Oosthuizen, 33, saw his playing partner JB Holmes go close at the 170-yard rebud hole and then watched his own ball trickle down, tap Holmes’ ball billiard-style out of the way, and dive in on the follow-through.

Irishman Shane Lowry and US Davis Cup skipper Davis Love both aced the same hole, a par-3, earlier in the tournament.

“I saw my ball pitch in a good spot to have a chance and then I saw JB’s ball and I thought, ‘Oh, there goes the chance of a one,'” Oosthuizen said.

“And then I just really watched the crowd and walking up there I could see one was in there obviously really close and the other one is in. So I was just hoping that it was my ball that was in and not JB’s because then neither of us would have a hole-in-one. He would have had to move his ball back.”

Lowry, Love, and Oosthuizen scored the 16th, 17th and 18th aces of 2016 respectively at the 170-yard.

“I just hit it in right of the hole and it just took it down in. I feel pretty lucky to have a hole-in-one around this place, in this tournament,” Lowry said. “I’m sure I’ll get a picture somewhere and frame it in the house and it will be nice momento to have.”

The three aces brought the total number of holes-in-one at the Masters to 27 since the tournament was first played in 1934.

This marked the first time there were three aces on the same day and in the same round at the Masters.
