GOLF star Si Woo Kim celebrated wildly as he hit the longest hole-in-one in major history – breaking his own record.
The South Korean achieved the incredible feat on the 6th hole at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.
His drive was 252 yards, meaning he broke the PGA Tour record for longest hole in one.
Amazingly, Kim had the previous record set last year after a 238-yard hole-in-one at Royal Troon.
But he sensationally smashed that with his effort in North Carolina – throwing his 5-wood into the air in adulation as fans also went crazy.
One said: “That’s ridiculous man.”
Another added: “Some wack.”
Even former footballer Jamie Redknapp said: “Oh stop it! Would you believe it!”
One hailed: “Don’t watch golf but that has got to be top 3 feelings in the world.”
Another said: “Celebration was almost as good as the shot.”
Sky Sports pundits Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher were shown the footage to discuss during coverage of Chelsea’s win over Manchester United.
Keane simply said: “Good shot.”
Kim said with a wide smile: “It’s exciting. I hit it exactly how I wanted. So it was cool and it was a pretty memorable hole-in-one at a major.”
The 66th ranked golfer began his day on the back nine but also had six birdies and a bogey to match Max Homa for the low round of the day.
Kim shot one-over 72 in the opening round and needs a big second round to stay alive for the weekend with the cut line set at one-over.
And now the 29-year-old finds himself in the mix for his first major title as he said: “It’s just still Friday.
“I just played good two rounds, but still a lot of work to do. Then especially, the weekend is going to be hotter and then more tense.
“I’m just going to try to play my golf and just try to have fun.”
