ATP legend Andre Agassi is busy making a grand comeback in the world of sports with his new pickleball feat and reconnecting with his fans. However, his children are also following in their father’s footsteps and seem to enjoy and follow different sporting events throughout the year. And it definitely isn’t always tennis. Despite having parents who are legends in the sport, Agassi and Graf’s son Jaden seems to be more taken with golf. Following this spirit, he recently took to his Instagram account to congratulate the USC athlete Jackson Rivera on an amusing hole-in-one.

The sophomore Rivera’s latest shot at No.8 at the Western Collegiate has gone viral on social media to say the least. Golf fans are having a treat watching Rivera make the marvelous shot and the commentators following through on it’s movements. Jaden, for one, has always been vocal about his UFC stan and didn’t take long to hype up and talk about Rivera’s spectacular show on his Instagram stories with a sweet message.
Jaden Agassi is beyond happy at Rivera’s success
Jaden Agassi took to his Instagram stories to talk about this cool feat a couple of hours back with the message- “Not weird 🤷🏼♂️ @jacksonrivera”.
He means to highlight Jackson’s unexpected ace story with sarcasm and says that it is not at all weird for such an event to happen. Rivera, a sophomore, made this impressive hole-in-one on the second to last hole of the competition, which helped him secure a tie for 19th place with Chirravuri, a freshman.
The USC team finished 11th overall in the competition, with Rivera and Chirravuri’s performances standing out. Rivera’s hole-in-one came on the par 3 8th hole, where he hit a shot from 177 yards out that spun back into the cup for an eagle.
This shot marks Rivera’s third consecutive top-19 finish and his fourth of the season. Chirravuri, on the other hand, standing in a tie for 19th place is his team-best seventh top-24 finish this year and his third top-19 finish.
Overall, Pepperdine won the event with a score of 16-under, and USC finished with a score of 42-over for the tournament. Jaden’s enthusiasm at his friend’s shot is adorable, if anything, and will surely serve Rivera as encouragement for his future endeavors.
