Masters 2016: Shane Lowry, Davis Love III, Louis Oosthuizen all ace No. 16 image

No golfer had hit a hole-in-one through the first three rounds of the 2016 Masters. If you happened to walk past No. 16 at Augusta on Sunday, you saw three aces in less time than it takes Sergio Garcia to hit a chip shot.

Shane Lowry had the first ace on the par-3 hole, the first hole-in-one on No. 16 in four years.

Davis Love III stepped up to drive only two groups later, hitting a nearly identical shot to Lowry that trickled right into the bottom of the cup.

Brace yourself now because the following hole-in-one may be the most bizarre shot you've ever seen.

Louis Oosthuizen found his way to an ace on 16 with a little help from J.B. Holmes' ball. Good luck trying to replicate this trick shot.

 

 

Lowry finished 10-over for the tournament, tied for 39th overall. Love III was not far behind at 11-over and tied for 42nd. Oosthuizen stood at 4-over and tied for 18th with only two holes left to play.

But hey, these three will always have No. 16.
