Watch as 11-year-old hits hole-in-one as Tiger Woods looks on

Taylor Crozier seemingly hit a hole-in- one at The Playgrounds, near Houston

An 11-year-old boy stole the show with an amazing hole-in-one in front of Tiger Woods at the grand opening of his new golf course in Texas.

Taylor Crozier was given the honour of hitting the inaugural tee-shot at The Playgrounds, co-designed by the 14-time major champion, but he defied nerves to make excellent contact with a short-iron to the 81-yard par-three.

And with Woods watching among a large crowd, Crozier's ball landed 10 feet left of the pin before spinning right and rolling gently into the middle of the cup to send the gallery wild.

A delighted Woods embraced the youngster with a huge bear hug, and the South Texas PGA junior and playing partner Ceci Lococo recorded rounds of 32 on the 10-hole course, while Woods could only manage a 35 and gave the young pair a signed scorecard as a memento of the day.

Posting the video, Wood's tweeted "First hole at The Playgrounds @BluejackNation and this happened". The footage shows Woods smiling and laughing before shouting to the crowd: "Inaugural shot ... and he holes it!"
