The Masters: Jon Rahm makes stunning HOLE-IN-ONE at Augusta!
Jon Rahm gets his week off to a flyer as he goes in pursuit of his maiden major title at The Masters...
Jon Rahm made a stunning hole-in-one on the tricky par-3 4th hole during his Masters practice round at Augusta National on Monday.
Rahm, who was playing alongside Rickie Fowler and Brendon Todd in his first practice round of the week, can be heard saying he struck his 5-iron 205 metres, with Fowler then adding the ball pitched behind the flag and spun in the hole for an ace.
Check out the video clip below, which Rahm posted on his Instagram page with the caption: "Hole-in-one's are always special, even more so at Augusta National. Here's to hoping it happens again later this week! Thanks to Rickie Fowler for the video!"
Rahm is considered by many as the best player without a major to his name, despite only being 25 years old.
The World No.2 has posted four top-10 finishes in 16 major appearances so far in his career, but his past form at Augusta National reads particularly well with a tie for 27th in 2017 followed by a solo fourth in 2018 and a tie for ninth last year.
His scoring average by par at Augusta National is impressive to say the least, ranking first in both par-4 scoring (4.03) and par-5 scoring (4.40). His par-3 scoring has been the only let down so far, ranking 62nd in that statistic (3.17), but an ace at the 4th earlier today proves Rahm has already got his eye in with the irons.
Rahm will this week bid to become the fourth Spaniard to win The Masters, following in the footsteps of Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal, who both won it twice, and Sergio Garcia who won his maiden major in 2017.
While many big-name players arrive in Georgia in great form this week, few are in better shape than Rahm, who has five top-10 finishes in his last nine starts on Tour, including two victories.
