Matt Kuchar lights up Masters with a hole-in-one at the 16th

By Keith Jackson at Augusta National

Matt Kuchar produced one of the shots of the tournament with a hole-in-one on the par three 16th during the final round of the Masters

Matt Kuchar celebrated the first, and only, hole-in-one of the 81st Masters after a perfect shot at the 16th found the target on the final day.

The friendly pin position at the 170-yard par-three yielded three aces on day four last year, including an incredible one from Louis Oosthuizen when his ball ricocheted off JB Holmes' en route to the hole.

Kuchar, playing alongside Rory McIlroy for the second day running, was already on a roll after birdies at 12, 13 and 14 got him to within five of the lead.

But he got even closer when he sent his tee shot on the ideal line to the right of the pin, his ball pitching and gripping before rolling gently down the slope and into the cup.

And rather than keep the ball as a memento, he signed it and gave it to a delighted young fan, despite him being dressed in a "Rickie Fowler orange" shirt.
