Golfer Tony Finau celebrated on Wednesday when he made a hole in one during the Par-3 Tournament at the Masters.

The ball landed on the back of the seventh green on the course in the Augusta National and spun back into the hole for an ace. When he started to run up the course, he landed awkwardly on his left ankle.

He then dropped to a knee and popped the joint back into place.

His injury forced him to withdraw from the remaining events, but he managed to watch the final two holes before getting off the course.

He is expected to have an MRI on his ankle Thursday and plans to be ready for his tee time.
