Aaron Baddeley became the second golfer in PGA history to hit a hole-in-one on a par-4 Thursday at the Valero Texas Open.

It was historic … except it wasn’t.

The Australian’s opening shot on No. 17 went horribly wide and he decided to take a mulligan. So the hole-in-one he hit on his next shot was in actuality, a birdie.

“I just thought I’d just hit it straight and so I hit it and started walking and then heard the crowd going nuts,” Baddeley said. “I was like, wait, I just made birdie.

“I played really nice for the majority of the day. I just said to myself it was the wrong shot. Hit a straight one. It was straight downwind, get it going straight, it will go straight. So I hit the second one and said, man, why didn’t I do that the first time? And it rolls up and goes in.”

So technically Baddeley didn’t ace the hole, but that shouldn’t stop him from tell everyone he did.
