Sam Ryder greeted with beer can shower after acing 16th at Phoenix Open

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Sam Ryder watched his playing partner, Chris Kirk, tee off first on the iconic 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale during Saturday's third round of the WM Phoenix Open and was able to get a good read on how the green was playing.

Then he stepped up to the par-3, which was playing 124 yards, with a 54-degree wedge and hit the shot of his professional life.

Ryder made his first hole-in-one in a PGA Tour sanctioned event and the celebration was what you would expect on a hole with 20,000 fans, in the afternoon, with hours of imbibing behind them.

Beer cans rained down on the green, causing a delay of about 10 to 15 minutes while it was cleared so Kirk and Brian Harman could putt out. On the tee box, Ryder's caddie jumped into the arms to kick off the celebration.

«I was looking kind of just out to the right and wanted to kind of come down around [Kirk's] ball and maybe it was an accidental one-yard pull or something, but it didn't look like it was moving too fast on the camera when I saw it, but in the air it just looked perfect,» Ryder said.

Even after he finished his round, the 32-year-old was still coming down from the adrenaline rush. «It was pretty crazy,» he said.
