Jonathan’s visit “JJ” Jakovac to TPC Sawgras in Ponte Vedra, Florida, on Wednesday turned out to be memorable. Jakovac is the Caddie de Collin Morikawa, golfer number 4 in the world.
Jakovac generally observes while Morikawa Aces shoots in front of fans.
But this time, the Caddy had the opportunity to shine when he arrived at Tee’s box at the PAR-3 “Island Green.”
Jakovac hit a ball and saw it briefly settle on the descending slope of the green before returning to complete the AS.

Jakovac recalled his thought process at the time after hitting the ball.
“I had to ride the wind to get there,” he told Golfweek. “Just when he left, I thought, ‘That is a perfect line if the right distance lands.’

Morikawa also talked about the unique moment.
“Any hole in one is special,” he said. “A hole in one in 17 against each other caddie …”
With his hole in one, Jakovac took home a pot of unleashed money and a $ 10,000 sponsor prize and access to the VIP parking lot for the rest of the tournament was awarded.
