The World Wide Technology Championship is going forth with all fervor. The play is unfolding in Mexico, and the golf world is excited to see which PGA Tour star wins the title and the $8,200,000 purse. The game has been unfolding pretty adequately this season, irrespective of the difficulties offered by the course.

Amid the game, a false alarm about a PGA Tour pro apparently hitting an ace has made it to the headlines. The golfer’s playing partners have him believing that he hit a hole-in-one, and guess what? It’s a prank. What’s the full story?

PGA Tour pro’s team plays an ace card, leaving him astonished

In a recent update on Instagram, the PGA Tour posted a clip from the greens in Mexico. In the video, PGA Tour pro Taylor Montgomery is seen taking a shot. The player is surrounded by his team, and as he hits the ball, his group claims that he hit an ace. This is followed by a small celebration and congratulations.

In the clip, Montgomery’s team notes that because of the terrain of the Tiger Woods-designed course, it is difficult to see if he actually made an ace. It is later revealed that he, in fact, did not make a hole-in-one, meaning that they pranked him.

The caption of the video reads: “@TaylorMontgomery22’s group had him believing he made an ace 😲.”

As expected, fans have had some things to say about this incident. The reactions have been mixed, and here’s a quick glimpse at what some have said.
