WATCH: Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler Steal the Show With Back-to-Back Aces at Augusta National

To every golfer, a hole-in-one is a special event. Irrespective of how difficult the course is, shooting an ace on any hole calls for celebration. Years ago, in 2016, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler created their own magic during The Masters, as both stars shot back-to-back aces.

While the event did not yield favorable results for either of the two golfers, they will certainly remember their friendly shootout. The two had fun and ended up creating an unforgettable and enjoyable moment for themselves and the viewers.

Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas had consecutive hole-in-ones during the 2016 Masters

During the 2016 Masters, Fowler and Thomas ended up playing a friendly shootout for the par-3 contest. Hole No. 4 was the main highlight, where Thomas made the unexpected ace.

What followed was even more incredible. A couple of moments later, Fowler made his own ace at the fourth hole.

Fans, too, seemed excited, one even pointing out that they both had their mothers on the bag that day and that brought them luck “Top quality golf guys,” wrote another fan, while one user wrote that this made him sit up and start paying attention to what was happening on the course.

Everyone’s cheerfulness was expected, as two golfers do not make consecutive aces on the same hole every day.

“It was awesome,” Thomas said later. “I don’t know if it’s ever been done, back‑to‑back shots like that. But to play with two good buddies and make a hole‑in‑one and to have my mom on the bag in my first Masters, it’s a bucket list kind of thing”. 

He even added that it was amazing that Fowler followed, and Jordan Spieth – defending champion back then – could not. “Today was just so much fun”.

Fowler, who missed the cut later on, even joked about stealing Thomas’ thunder after his hole-in-one.

“It might’ve been the hardest shot I ever had to hit, trying to follow them,” Spieth said, adding that despite that, it was a lot of fun.

finished T38, while Spieth finished T2. Since then, Thomas won the 2017 PGA Championship as his first major, while Fowler came close to winning the Masters in 2018.
