Cool Golf Shot, But... Fake News Hole-in-One?

this is a very cool shot, but a hole-in-one it is not. anyone who knows the Masters, knows that #16 is 190 yards, and this Spanish Golfer is clearly well in front of the Tee. his shot doesn't look over 60-70 yards, and appears to be shot from a drop area.. like he chunked his tee shot into the pond, and took a drop, "laying 3" already. His hole-in-one is actually a Bogey, from my perspective!

Its a practice trick shot Rahm was trying. This has been tried by many others in the past. There are many courses tour players try those fun shots during practice rounds.

It was amazing. Years ago I tried a trick shot of sorts, that went well. I hit a Putter off the tee, on a 163 yard par 3.
I hit it solid, the ball started way left, then sliced wickedly to the right, before landing about 60 yards from the Green, and straightening out. It rolled hard onto the back of the Green, about 40 feet from the pin. I 2-putted for a par.

I didn't plan the shot, I had no idea where it would go.
