Masters -Vijay Singh-ACE- Another View - Skips Ball Across Water- Hole In One 4/7/09

DIFFERENT VIEW- Tuesday 4/7/09 at Augusta National Golf Course during Masters practice round on hole 16. A different viewpoint, shot from behind 16th tee. Vijay skips ball across water. Watch crowd stand up when it appears the skip balls going in. Golfer Ken Duke was lined up to skip the ball after Vijay, but had a great reaction to the Ace. Then he walked off without hitting a skip ball himself, refusing to follow that show! Camera gets jostled when crowd starts cheering. Vijay gets high-five from caddy. Crowd went wild.

[@glynmartin2946]

It's like the old saying, 'the more I practice, the luckier I get'. There was no one that spent as much time on the practice area as Vijay.

[@TryMyMartini]

Who else is here after just watching Jon Rahm do this in 2020?

[@ElderJediMaster]

Can confirm. That's how I got here. /r/blackmagicfuckery

[@jcoolguy1548]

Me

[@ebeefhart]

Me too. I did watch this clip quite a few years ago and when a friend saw Jon Rahms shot he bet me that had never been done before. Of course I took the bet. Of course I made him watch this. Of course I couldn't take his money because he is a friend.

[@kegginstructure]

I completely understand Ken Duke's decision. That is an IMPOSSIBLE act to follow.

[@caseyhermansen3699]

Jon Rahm accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Jesus they do it all the time in practice rounds and the Par 3 tournament on Wednesday. It’s been done a hundred different ways by the pro’s. This isn’t a big deal. Get over it

[@basedhumanofficial]

what if tho...he followed it up with an ace of his own. might have been legendary.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

@TheSportsGuru - Dude you're a moron. What the fuck are you talking about? Just Google or Wikipedia the Par 3 tournament at the Masters. It's been done a 100 times just in the Par 3 tourney which is what we are watching and talking about in the above video clip. The Masters itself has recorded 23 holes in one at the 16th in it's history. Try to have some intelligence about a subject before posting shit on here. Again you're a moron and your screen name is an insult to sports.

[@laskolasko]

The crowd's reaction is priceless

[@ndupchurch]

Funny thing, we were in the stands watching this forever. I went to go get another beer and heard the crowd go crazy when I was at the concession stand. I came back and my uncle told me Vijay holes one. Damn me...

[@hiddengems9022]

It's nice to see when other players are more excited than you about the situation makes the world a better place

[@johntatum1951]

Wow, Vijay...the ageless wonder!

[@bcvsam1234]

What a fantastic shot!! I have been a follower/ fan of V J for many years and it is the first time I have seen this remarkable shot. He and tiger are the best.

[@Avalanche962000]

I remember this, what an amazing golf shot!!!

[@mrNormal707]

I would hope so it was last weekend

[@tobyclark6534]

That's one of the greatest shots of all time.

[@lifebook0506]

I love how Vijay just walks away after seeing how far to the right the ball landed from the hole after popping out of the pond. He was probably like "yeah that's not going in. Screw it".

[@expressprince]

Just an hour ago Jon Rahm repeat this history 😂

[@JohnleBonReturns]

There's a video on my channel of people suggesting the Jon Rahm shot may have been CGI, can you believe that? Click my green avatar to see the video for yourself, it is trending bigly.

[@jmathieson15]

@@JohnleBonReturns I was about to do that until I saw you use the word bigly🤦‍♂️ I know it’s a word but I just can’t see it the same anymore

[@gojira931]

My favorite part about this angle is that you get to see Duke's reaction, which sums the whole thing up perfectly.

[@Echo-mz6tz]

"That's an impossible act to follow' John Rahm: hold my beer

[@johnnyutah482]

It was done twice again before Rahm

[@lepireification]

No fucking way... Being there live when this happens wow must of been priceless

[@black2007tl]

i was ther that day and it was absolutely legit!!! saw the whole thing with my very two own eyes!! it made sports center that night and it was amazing!! they were just goofing off b4 the practice round officially started!! monday april 6th!!

[@tomherbbarbhertz]

Yes, that was Ken Duke. He was supposed to skip his ball next and he just picked it up and walked off! Can't blame him after that!

[@snakemaster7]

THE coolest shot i've ever seen.

[@ultraverydeepfield]

The universe had to be perfectly aligned for this to actually happen.

[@evertonian6]

It happened again today, Trump is going to be out of office soon and they’ve found a COVID vaccine that should be 90% effective... maybe the universe is becoming perfectly aligned again?

[@jcoolguy1548]

@@evertonian6 yeah, I just saw that on the news lol

[@TabMcLain]

The universe is always aligned for Vijay 🙏

[@evertonian6]

@Anita Ciseroni There’s a lot of things that have happened in 2020 that you could doubt, this isn’t one of them...

[@dbossmx]

I once hit a driver shanked it right it hit a piece of concrete surrounding the mulch for a tree and bounced right back at my head and I head to duck! It's not a hole in one but hey I bet nobody else could do it!

[@juniornac1]

😂😂😂what in the hell

[@harrisonkuchman1653]

My brother once accidentally chipped his ball into the pocket of another walking players golf bag while in a tournament😂

[@harrychao88]

What an amazing ace! Unbelievable!

[@porterhouse247]

I was there on that day. I was on the other side of the course and heard the roar. Eventually word spread around that Vijay got the hole in one. This is the first time ive seen it, pretty amazing. If anyone has the chance go at the break of dawn and get a seat on hole 16. Its pretty cool to see these pros hit those skipping shots in person.

[@saltybirds4020]

And the jesus looked to his golf partner and said, "nice shot dad".

[@imsusceptible]

Greatest shot in the history of golf!

[@leeward6762]

I like how the last dude is just like Nope, moving on....no need for me to take a swing.

[@iloveskateboarding45]

i had trouble reading the description lol, good vid

[@f1mikeyboy]

Vijay, always loved his swing.

[@joekoe97]

This may be the greatest golf shot ever.

[@asok2siam911]

Shot of the century.

[@Sidetrackification]

Excellent Ace!

[@vishy]

So coooool! Viya Singh is the best.

[@miranda.cooper]

Now THAT is something you can't do in Wii golfing!

[@JohnWhiteECU]

this is best time at Masters, when the players are doing their trick shots, playing a Par 3 tourney on Wed...you would understand if you had ever been there and witnessed it. Kaymer did this same shot 2 years later

[@SteveBurdetteWolf]

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering how anyone would be taking that kind of shot in a tournament. They wouldn't!

[@jcoolguy1548]

I just saw someone do this on the news. It was awesome

[@kindbluey]

truelly amazing!!!!

[@CantuWielder]

are u fucking serious lol golf is a expensive sport people bash it too much and hate on it, it takes so much skill :)

[@Marcara081]

It takes more real estate than skill. Besides, lots of things take lots of skill. Golf is a waste of that skill for most people.

[@amansinghsarna]

Marcara081 no.

[@DMFChavez]

+William Anderson yup. i was an mvp basketball player back in high school. one of the typically considered "toughest"; sports. I also played and understand football (american and world), baseball, etc other major sports. That said, I took up golf recently this year. 10 times harder than any sport I've ever put serious time and effort into. No 3 pointer, long distance strike, touchdown bomb, home run, whatever you like, can compare to the precision it takes to get that golf ball all the way there and into the smallest target. I mean, one single hole is roughly going to be 3 times the length of a football field, and you're trying to read how the tiniest ball of all is going to react off 14 different types of devices you use to hit it. And believe it or not, it's the first sport I've ever really felt the need to improve strength and flexibility just to try and compete.

[@munga20]

***** He absolutely did aim and intend to skip it onto that part of the green, the design of the green makes the ball swing around to the hole. They've been skipping balls onto this green for years and put the pin in that location on the pre tournament practice days on purpose now.

[@michaelallen-od3rb]

i agree

[@a7774able]

"let me show you..." dude must have a physics degree. That was spot on.

[@MrEmitremmus]

What a sport where even the competition is just as excited!

[@Jonsse]

That was an awesome shot. Just not a hole in one since they've already played their balls, they were just giving the crowd something fun to watch and fooling around.

[@StreamMomentsOfficial]

The was louder than a golf clap

[@berserkley]

Those trick basketball shots you see where the ball is thrown the length of the court and sinks with all net? This shot OWNS every one of those.

[@onionsoup32]

i love how Sean O Hair just stands there like "...wait for it.."

[@dfuzzy]

i like this view better. awesome shot.

[@resourcefulchefvega464]

Golfs most exciting moment highlight clip.

[@v1d30gr4m]

I love the guy in this video saying that "you will never see this again". Well, I just did!

[@RiverKinn]

right at 0:40 the crowd reaction is oddly satisfying to watch

[@larrybud]

Guys, this was a practice round, not a tournament. It's tradition, they all hit this shot. Note how the put the ball on the downslope so they can get a really low trajectory.

[@evertonian6]

that gave me goosebumps for some unknown reason

[@Carsey755]

It's good that Vijay Singh brought 2 pairs of pants because he made a hole in one!

[@LightningBTP]

you have to watch another video to see it, but it is an amazing, lucky shot.

[@sniygley]

Vijay is a beast!

[@mrNormal707]

This was a practice round I think.

[@chris2145]

no shit

Amazing!

haha, i love Ken Duke's reaction when it goes in... at least i think that's Ken Duke.

I did this when i was around 12, except the it hit the water three times before it got onto the green. At the time i didn't realize how rare it was of a shot but looking back it was something to remember

+Fudgepackin18 U serioius?

[@brittneynicole7765]

Wow. I looked this up because of a manga but I didn't think a person could actually do it

[@jody024]

classic shot

[@dk2853]

you gotta love the shaky camera when the ball goes in. Guy totally forgets he's filming

[@Stiddlefrix]

Good ol' Ken Duke reacts to it too.

[@game4354]

that's amazing

[@thetruth34o9]

Holy fuck. This is why I love sports

[@ouroboris]

This is indeed a great shot, but I thought a 'hole in one' was when the golfer sunk the ball in one shot from the tee.

[@Enderzt]

+ouroboris It was essentially from the tee. This was during a practice/exhibition round. They dropped their balls on the rough in front of the usual tee box and tried to skip their balls across the water instead of the usual shot you would do on this hole for the crowd. You can see the front edge of the tee box in the video.

[@xxxDave24xxx]

masters indeed.

[@qasimdeadlocked]

@vivs005 - vijay singh is from fiji

[@Lvl9chao]

All I gotta say is.... DAYUUUM!!!!

[@MAlatinboy]

@molagi It's a tradition at the Masters for the pros to hit that shot for fun on the 16th hole. This was not fake, but rather a lucky shot during this known tradition.

[@RaytheonNublinski]

Jeez you like one golf video and the algorithm loses its mind!

[@shmordan00]

right on.

[@ATsax501]

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha. that was epic. hahaha.

[@humanalive]

@ClearVista Its very easy: Just hit the button that is right next to the "Like-button". It turns red while hovering it.

[@Intrafacial86]

lol the guy in the blue jacket is all like "fuck dat shit, ain't no way I can follow that!" xD

[@ThroughTheSm0ke]

"O......OOOOOOOOOOOOO, WAHHHHAAAHAHAHOOOOO"

[@ezzell186]

This is the par 3 contest at the Master's. It is played mostly for fun. It is believed to be a curse to win the par 3 contest because no one has ever won it and then won the Master's. Therefore many of the players hit shots like this for the spectators enjoyment.

[@skiingbc1]

wow!!!!!!!!

[@u2beoscar]

yeah yeah

[@thephenomenalcrew]

There was another one today!

man will he have a story to tell his grandchildren lol
