Louis Oosthuizen made just the 14th ace at the British Open in the last 22 years on Thursday at the par-3 14th hole at Royal Troon in the first round. Oosthuizen also made an ace at the Masters earlier this year, which means he now has more holes-in-one on the back nine of major championship courses this year than most of us will ever have in our lives. Awesome.
It's also the first ace at the 14th at Troon since the 1997 Open.

.@Louis57TM also made ace at Masters. He's the only player in the last 30 years to make an ace at 2 different majors in a season.
