Power first sent his tee shot on the 8th spinning back into the hole for an ace on Wednesday and, incredibly, repeated the feat just moments later on the last on the newly renovated layout at Augusta National.

The World No.34 is the third player to make consecutive aces in the traditional curtain-raiser, joining Claude Harmon (1968) and Toshi Izawa (2002).

"It's a dream come true," Power said.

"Obviously, to get one was special, but to get the second one was a bit surreal. It was an absolute blast out there."

The 36-year-old Irishman, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, said the aces had brought his career total to 16.

"Being able to share it with my brother out there, that was probably the best part," said Power, who will make his second Masters start on Thursday after finishing joint-27th last year.

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler also made a hole-in-one in bizarre circumstances, the World No.1's tee shot on the 9th plunging straight into the cup after he and playing partners Tom Kim and Sam Burns had teed off simultaneously.

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson's hole-in-one on the 4th and one from eventual winner Tom Hoge on the 8th took the total number of aces in the contest's history to 107.

Since the event started in 1960, nobody has ever become par-three and Masters champion in the same week.
