There is a tradition at the event which sees caddies play closest-to-the-pin on the iconic par-three 17th.

And for the first time in 26 years, a caddie hit the perfect shot on the hole.

JJ Jakovac, who is the bag carrier for two-time major winner Morikawa, sparked wild scenes yesterday.

The world No4’s caddie landed a stunning hole-in-one from 131 yards with a pitching wedge.

Jakovac’s big moment was caught on video by Morikawa and the caddie was mobbed by his competitors.

Golfer Isaiah Salinda shouted at the camera: “Are you not entertained?”

Another voice also screamed: “You did it. Are you f***ing kidding me? Holy s***.”

Fans were just as happy, with one commenting: “Does it get better than this?”

To commemorate the feat, Jakovac will get his name added to a plaque in the Sawgrass clubhouse.

The PGA Tour reportedly gives £13,000 to the winning caddie and sponsors Knockaround Sunglasses give £7,750 – with the combined figure set to go to a charity of his choice.

Jakovac may have made his name as a caddie, but he is a talented player, having won titles at college and Korn Ferry level.
