An 11-year-old from Texas had an unforgettable day when he not only hit a hole-in-one on the inaugural tee shot at a new golf course co-designed by Tiger Woods, but did so with Tiger watching behind him.
South Texas PGA junior Taylor Crozier hit an ace after teeing off on an 81-yard par three at The Playgrounds at Bluejack National in Montgomery, Texas on Wednesday.
Woods posted the YouTube video on his Twitter page, which has since gone viral, being viewed almost 500,000 times.
The crowded erupted into cheers following the amazing shot and Woods shouted the “inaugural shot and he holes it!” before he ran over and gave the boy a bear hug as the two smiled and laughed.

The 14-time major winner has been off the PGA Tour as he recovers from back operations.
Woods said in a statement he has been chipping and putting at his home in Florida as he recovers from back surgeries, and that he and his son, Charlie, are competing in three-hole chipping contests.
“The loser has to do push-ups,” Woods wrote on his website. “My short game feels pretty sharp.”
