Cink began walking off the tee when his ball landed safely on the green, some 30 feet from the flag, before stopping in his tracks as the ball made its way down the slope and into the cup.

When the ball finally dropped, patrons surrounding the 170-yard hole erupted while Cink threw his arms in the air before sharing a hug with his son Reagan, who is serving as his caddie.

The former Open champion's ace was the 24th at the 16th hole in Masters history.
