Sepp Straka makes practice ace at Augusta

Sepp Straka enjoyed a moment most golfers could only dream of when he made a hole-in-one at the famous 12th at Augusta National in preparation for this year's Masters Tournament.

The par-three over water right in the middle of Amen Corner has always been a source of drama at the year's first Major Championship, although much of that has come from players finding the drink rather than the bottom of the cup.

But on Monday, Austrian Straka hit an eight iron from 155 yards to create a truly magical moment.

"It was unbelievable," he said. "We had 155. The pin was tucked just over the bunker. Been coming up short all day, the ball wasn't going anywhere, so just hit a little eight and just landed it perfect on the fringe just short and trickled in. It was amazing."

What would he give for more of the same on Sunday?
