The 16th hole at Augusta witnessed yet another hole in one on Masters Sunday thanks to Charley Hoffman.

The pin at Redbud was in its traditional Sunday position in the back left part of the green, with a welcoming slope funnelling a well-placed tee shot at the 170-yard hole down towards the target.

Hoffman did not take the well-worn path, instead bumping off the bank adjacent to the greenside bunker and into the left side of the hole, but nonetheless emulated Matt Kuchar last year and a host of others in recent times.
