Jon Rahm, take a bow, sir.

The Spaniard prepared for the next Masters in the best possible way, making an incredible hole in one.

But it was the way he accomplished the ace that really left viewers speechless.

During a practice session at Augusta, the often tricky 170-yard 16th hole was no problem for Rahm, as he defied logic by skimming the ball over the water to nail his shot.

The moment left commentators in awe and even had some fans calling it the best hole in one of all time.

Even before the shot was played, Rahm knew exactly what he wanted to do.

Instead of teeing off like any normal golfer, the world’s number two placed his ball a few feet forward near the lake side.

Then, without hesitation, he fired a low shot that glided through the water beautifully.

Of course, this is a relatively popular move by professionals during practice sessions.

But what made this so special was the end result.

After the ball finally emerged from bouncing in the water three or four times, it landed perfectly on the back of the green and rolled directly into the hole.

Rahm was harassed by his caddy Adam Hayes as the two celebrated together on the empty field.

For the first time in history, this year’s Masters will be played without a live crowd due to strict regulations surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.

But even though no one was there to witness this incredible moment in person, the video quickly flooded the internet with fans reacting on social media.

While most were in awe of what they just saw, maybe one guy summed it up better.

He simply said, “That must be, hands down, the biggest hole in one in history.”
