Seamus Power has gone and achieved what is likely one of the rarest feats in golf, making back-to-back hole in ones in the Wednesday par 3 competition at Augusta.
The friendly natured competition has been played since 1960 - COVID years aside - on Augusta's separate nine hole par 3 course, with Pádraig Harrington holding the record for most wins with three.
Power hit the two shots on his finishing two holes, giving him the perfect feel good confidence heading into tomorrow's first round of the main tournament.

“It’s one of those places where it just feels different as soon as you walk inside the gate. To be a part of it last year was amazing, and I just can’t wait again this year," said about the Masters recently.
“I still feel like I’m in the same boat as last year in that people probably aren’t expecting that much of me. But I’m really feeling good about my game. And if I can do some of the right things, I can definitely improve on last year anyway.
“You just have to execute really good shots and have the courage to be aggressive enough. That’s the balance you’re trying to strike. You have to be courageous to make some birdies. Yes, you can hit it to 40 feet and try to two-putt, but you’re obviously not making much ground doing that.
“We play on fast greens a lot. But at Augusta, it’s the speed combined with the slope. So you can feel like you hit a good shot like 20 feet and you get up there and you’ve got three, four feet of break. And that’s where the speed gets tested.”
