One golfer hit a shot that he will probably never forget.
The network is completely freaking out - even Thomas Müller cannot stop being amazed.
Jon Rahm had
the golf swing of his life - on his birthday, of all places.
The feat amazes people all over the world.
Even amateur golfer
Thomas Müller
is enthusiastic.
Augusta - Was that the best golf shot ever?
The Spanish top golfer
Jon Rahm
achieved an incredible
hole-in-one
.
First he let the ball dance across the water, then it rolled into the little hole as if by magic.
It almost seems as if psychic powers were involved.
Golf Masters: Rahm achieves a unique art shot - video goes viral
Before the important
US Masters
in
Augusta
, one of the four major golf tournaments, Rahm actually only wanted to train a little - because it was his birthday.
He would probably never have dreamed that he would succeed in such a feat on this very day.
Luckily a camera was there when he got ready to hit hole 16.
With a flat blow, the world number two carried the ball with three bounces over a
lake
.
That alone requires a lot of luck and skill - but it was planned.
It is part of the ritual to let the ball bounce over the lake during training before the Masters.
In most cases it doesn't work.
Once on the other side, the ball kept rolling towards the hole.
It took a full 17 seconds for it to actually land right there.
The jubilation was great - the video immediately went viral on the Internet.
What a shot!

Golf Masters: Thomas Müller impressed with his crazy magic
Rahm managed a hole-in-one the day before.
In this form he can hardly be beaten at the Masters.
He congratulated himself on
: "Two hole-in-ones on two days - happy birthday!".
Thomas Müller from FC Bayern Munich
, himself a passionate golfer, was deeply impressed by the magic stroke.
He shared the video and wrote, "What a blow!" And applauded with an emoji.
Curious fact: the German golf star
Martin Kaymer also
managed a hole-in-one on the same hole in 2012 - but back then he chipped the ball across the lake.
How boring.
