And to prove how special the ace was, Golf Channel’s Tim Rosaforte revealed that Fowler had changed out of his golf shoes and hit the shot in his trainers, using Luke Donald’s Mizuno pitching wedge!

Fowler later described the hole-in-one as ‘one of the coolest moments of my life’, while Els said he ‘will always remember this moment’. Here’s some more reaction with the American’s fellow players.
