When most of the golfers take a lifetime, golf genius Jayden Phipps has achieved a rare feat by hitting his ninth hole-in-one at the tender age of eight.
Phipps, who hails from West Midlands, fired his latest wonder-shot on the first hole of his local golf club in front of stunned dad Ashley on Monday.
Phipps, who has already caught the admiration of Colin Montgomerie and Gary Player, has beaten Montgomerie in a 'pros vs amateurs' competition.
An ecstatic dad Ashley said that his son hit the shot at about 7:20am on Monday and it was his first shot of the day, adding that it was great watching Jayden play and enjoy helping him out, the Mirror reported.
The young marvel is now gearing up to square off against the world's best junior golfers at a championship in Scotland this summer.
