Gareth Bale has sparked wild scenes of celebration after hitting his first hole-in-one on a course in California.
The Welsh football legend's love of golf is well known, but the latest video uploaded to his Instagram account shows what is claimed to be the first time he's achieved the sporting feat.
In the clip, recorded by friends, a voice is heard saying "hole in one time, never done it" as Bale steps up to the tee.
He then strikes the ball as those around him pause to watch its flight, before realising that it's heading straight for the hole.
"Oh my God, he got it! This is a video for the ages, wow!", the same voice is heard shouting.as Bale raises his arms and runs to his friends. "Gareth Bale, he doesn't just do bicycle kicks!"
Bale, who has 111 Wales caps to his name, recently made his golfing debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February.
