Louis Oosthuizen got his second hole-in-one in Majors this year as he sunk the 14th

A hole in one is something all golfers dream of achieving, but not many have the skill to put it into practice.

Louis Oosthuizen certainly does as shown by his epic shot at Royal Troon on the first day of The Open.

Paul McGinley said on Thursday morning that there was likely to be an ace this week and he was proven right.

The South African nailed his tee shot at the par-three 14th to take him back to level par for the day. 

It's not the first time Oosthuizen has done this at a major. Incredibly, he fired a hole-in-one at the Masters earlier this year. 

After Shane Lowry and Davis Love III had made aces earlier in the final round of the Masters, it was going to take something special to get the galleries on their feet again.

Watch an amazing set of shots from the final day at the Masters which included three hole-in-ones!

And Oosthuizen took to the tee after seeing playing partner JB Holmes knock his tee shot close and went one better by holing an incredible hole-in-one via a deflection off Holmes' ball. What a man!
