J.T. Poston hit a great shot during his Tuesday practice round on the 17th hole at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
His caddie, Aaron Flener, posted video on Twitter showing Poston’s ball in the hole on the tough par-3 down the closing stretch of the host site for the RBC Heritage.
“Hey, J.T., where’s your ball?” Flener asked his player. Poston proceeds to point at the hole, and Flener turns the camera to show the ball in the cup.
Sweet, an ace in a practice round.
Not so fast.
Flener asked, “What shot was that from the tee?” Poston responded, “My second one.” The duo began laughing before the video cuts off.

The chances of an average player making a hole-in-one are 12,500 to 1, according to the PGA of America – it’s not quite as large a surprise for a Tour pro. Unfortunately for Poston, this one doesn’t really count.

What happened to his first tee shot? We may never know.
