Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa holed-out from same bunker on 18 for an incredible Masters moment at Augusta National Golf Club.

The sand-save earned McIlroy the week’s first bogey-free round as he shot up the leaderboard on the final day to post a 8-under 64 and put up a number at 7 under for the tournament, just three shots behind 54-hole leader Scottie Scheffler at the time. Both players found the back-right bunker behind Augusta National Golf Club’s final hole and both proceeded to hole-out on consecutive shots, sending the patrons into an absolute frenzy of cheers and chants of “Rory! Rory!” and “Collin! Collin!” This year at the 86th playing of the first men’s major of the year, it seemed like Tiger Woods’ return to competitive golf would take the crown.

The Hollywood golfer's round of 64 was just one shot off the course record and his second lowest round in any major.

He missed a good birdie opportunity on the ninth but made amends in style on the 10th, chipping in from the back of the green to improve to four under. But he made amends for his error on the second by driving the green on the par-four third and two-putting for birdie. The 32-year-old made the ideal start to his round with a birdie on the first and then smashed a 376-yard drive on the second, only to push his approach into a bunker and fail to get up and down.
