Watch as Jon Rahm fires home sensational hole in one at Augusta

Jon Rahm produced one of the greatest hole-in-ones golf fans are ever likely to see on Tuesday.

The Spanish golf star is preparing for this week's Masters, and will tee off for the opening round on Thursday alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Louis Oosthuizen.

And if this shot is anything to go by, Rahm could be one to watch at Augusta National.

Rahm took part in the traditional pre-tournament skipping challenge at the Par 3 16th.

He skimmed his ball off the surface of the water hazard three times before it skipped onto the green, and then it meandered its way around the putting surface before sliding into the hole.

Sports reporter Tyler Greever labelled it "one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in sports."

And fans on social media agreed.

To add to the celebrations, Rahm produced the shot on what was his 26th birthday, and it was his second hole in one in as many days after firing one home at the fourth on Monday.
