If you're looking at the form guide ahead of the US Masters this week, maybe take a stab on Spaniard John Rahm. 

The newly-turned 26-year-old celebrated his birthday in style on Wednesday (NZ time), drilling a spectacular hole-in-one during practice at Augusta National. 

As part of a pre-tournament tradition, Rahm skimmed his tee-shot across the pond of the 16th hole, bouncing off the water four times, before kicking towards the back of the green and feeding perfectly down the slope for a par-three eagle. 

Remarkably, the ace wasn't Rahm's first of the week - the former world No.1 drilled another on Monday.

"Two hole-in-ones in two days - Happy Birthday to me!" he tweeted.

Rahm is currently ranked world No.2 and has finished in the top 10 in each of his last two Masters appearances.
