PAIGE SPIRANAC won a hole-in-one and a hug from Gary Player, a golf legend.

As she achieved this amazing feat, the ex-pro became a social media star.

Spiranac waited anxiously to see if a friend had captured her moment, and then she raised her arms to celebrate when it was confirmed.

South African super veteran Player, 85, was just as happy as he was when he crossed the street to celebrate with the American.

Spiranac has already surpassed leading players such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Dustin Johnson in terms of Instagram followers.

Along with her many tricks shots, glamour poses, and other updates, the 28 year-old has now posted a picture that any golfer would be proud to see.

At the 148-yard par-3 14th hole, she was dressed in all black and launched a crucial tee shot that stunned her partners.

Then, one of his colleagues shouted, "Get in!" and the entire tee party went wild as the ball dropped in.

Player was the first to reach out and hug Spiranac. He seemed shocked but finally yelled, "Oh my god!" I've done it!"

She turned to the woman videoing and asked: "Did it get it?" "

The answer was "Yea!" It was a great success!

Ironically, she began the month by highlighting one of the downs of golf in another tweet, even after such a positive turn.

She wrote: "Nothing makes golf more disgusting than playing snap hooks off of the tee."
