Harrison Vonderau pulled out his pitching wedge, took his aim, swung his club and watched the golf ball fly. It bounced on the green and rolled 20 feet into the cup 76 yards away.
Harrison, 8, and his father, Dave, started screaming and jumping up and down.
"We almost fell down we were so excited," Dave Vonderau said. "I never had a hole-in-one, but I was happy to watch his."
So how did Harrison celebrate his ace?
He made another one with the same ball and his 9-iron 20 minutes later.
"It was unbelievable," said Jeff Staker, the pro at the Washington Golf Learning Center in Newburgh Heights, where Harrison and his dad competed in the Pee Wee Division of the Cleveland Metroparks Father/Son Tournament on Saturday.
Not only did they win the alternate-shot, nine-hole event with a 1-under-par 28, but they also became the first golfers in their division to break par since the tournament began in 1991.
