This was pretty darn sweet.

There are several fun traditions during Masters week, including players skipping balls on the water at the par-3 16th hole. 

Usually it’s all just fun and games with the shot—it’s an opportunity for guys to do something they’ve seen many players pull off in years past. 

On Wednesday, however, fans came extremely close to seeing something very special happen. Corey Conners, who won the Valero Texas Open last week in San Antonio, almost made a hole-in-one when he attempted the trick shot with his group. 

Here’s even more proof that these guys are really, really good.

Not bad!
