WATCH: Ireland's Seamus Power does something out of this world at Masters in Augusta
Waterford native Seamus Power stole the headlines yesterday after producing two magical shots during The Masters Par 3 Contest.
The world number 34, who is making his second career appearance at Augusta National, span his tee shot on the eighth back into the hole for an ace and repeated the feat just moments later on the ninth.

Power is the third player to make consecutive hole-in-ones in the traditional curtain-raiser, joining Claude Harmon (1968) and Toshi Izawa (2002).
"It’s a dream come true," Power said. "Obviously to get one was special, but to get the second one was a bit surreal. It was an absolute blast out there.
"I hit a sand wedge on eight. Probably landed 30 feet behind it and spun back and similar on nine; I slightly pulled it and it kicked to the right and spun back in so yeah, very lucky obviously.
"It’s obviously such a special tradition here on a Wednesday. Being able to share it with my brother out there, that was probably the best part.
"I don’t know whether it carries into tomorrow, but it’s certainly a lifelong memory that I’ll treasure."
Power tees off at 2.48pm (Irish time) today for his first round at the 2023 Masters.
