    Pandemonium at one of golf's most famous holes in the lead-up to the Players Championship..

    Pandemonium at one of golf's most famous holes in the lead-up to the Players Championship..


    JJ Jakovac - the caddie for world number four Collin Morikawa - has hit a practice round hole-in-one on the par three 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

    The treacherous hole presents a knee-knocking 125 metre shot completely across water to a sloped "Island Green".

    Ryan Fox also nailed an ace on the hole during the first round of last year's Players Championship.

    The Kiwi is back in action for this year's event - teeing off at 5.45 tomorrow morning.

    GOLF COVERAGE WITH CROWN... THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A NEW CROWN. SIMPLY THE BEST.
