It's not shocking at all to have a few hole-in-one moments in the Masters Par 3 Contest, but the way Scottie Scheffler got his was about as crazy as you'll see.

For those new to the Par 3 Contest, it's not exactly traditional golf structure. It's a laid-back family affair, with kids and spouses and family members joining the golfers, hitting some shots, and all sorts of fun.

Scheffler had friends Sam Burns and Tom Kim in his playing group Wednesday, and as the trio took to the 9th and final hole of the day, they decided to tee off together. (This isn't uncommon in this event.) Watch the moment below... carefully.

You may not have noticed it, but all three shots were pretty close, and you can clearly see three golf balls down there. So announcers were a bit surprised to learn that one of those didn't belong. Seamus Power left his ball behind when he finished up, so there were actually FOUR balls. But one of them was in the hole. Turns out, it was Scottie's, and it went straight in the hole.

As we noted earlier, the winner of the Par 3 Contest has never won the Masters Tournament in the same year, so the defending champion is probably happy he isn't leading on Wednesday, despite the unlikely hole-in-one.

Oh, and just to point out, there have been a few other hole-in-one shots on the day, including TWO in a row from Seamus Power.

Tee has worked with KICKS 99 for over 24 years as Operations Manager and Program Director and is on-air each afternoon 3p-7p. When he’s not working, you’ll find him traveling the back roads, taking pictures, and searching for the next dive diner. Favorite place to visit? That’s easy. Folly Beach, SC. He’s usually there at least a few times a year. He lives in North Augusta and on Saturdays in the fall, you’ll find him cooking out and watching his Clemson Tigers. Tee likes to write about travel, Augusta local dive bars and diners and destinations in the Carolinas, as well as new business.
