Louis Oosthuizen just missed a hole-in-one on a 253-yard par 3 and nobody could believe it

Sunday morning’s final round of the 2021 British Open has been a wild one with Collin Morikawa building a lead and others, including Jordan Spieth, trying to make runs to put some pressure on Morikawa.

Louis Oosthuizen, who entered Sunday with a one-stroke lead, is one of those players now trying to catch Morikawa. Oosthuizen is used to being in contention at majors and is trying to win one for the first time since he won The Open Championship in 2010.

He almost picked up two strokes in stunning fashion on the 253-yard, par-3 11th hole when his tee shot hit the pin and somehow didn’t go in.

Look at how close he was to an incredible ace:

He birdied the hole but man, that should have gone in.
