Hovland hit a hole-in-one on the short par 4
Hovland was out on the course this afternoon warming-up and hit an incredible shot that left fans and commentators stunned.
The Norwegian was at hole five on the short par four when he fired his ball straight onto the green and into the target.
Fans watching on jumped in amazement and Team Europe members hugged a jubilant Hovland as he threw his club on the floor.
The commentators were left in shock, one said: “Once in a lifetime those kind of shots, if you are lucky.”
However, the other fumed: “Oh no. Wrong day.”
Hovland did not even tee up for his hole-in-one, just chucking the ball down as he found his range perfectly.
But his attempt was technically only a birdie because it was his second tee shot, yet this common in a practice round.
Hovland is hoping to fire Europe to glory this weekend and improve on his poor showing at Whistling Straits two years ago.
