For those of you who know your golf more, can you confirm that this is something that actually happened?

Most amazing thing I've seen done with a ball!
 
Happened this year in the masters.

Its a tradition on the Tuesday Practice day to skim the ball on the 16th.
 
but its the first time someone got a hole in one whilst skipping the ball on water.

What I'm amazed at is the fact that the ball still had enough backspin on it to have it spin back in the direction of the hole after it had rolled a bit on the green... Or was it just the lay of the green that did that?
 
It's not hard to skim a shot, I know of someone who once pinned off a skim shot... it's pretty sick though the video.

Would be that green
