The 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale is one of the most iconic holes on the PGA Tour calendar thanks to the 20,000 fans that surround the short par-3. Named 'The Coliseum', spectators at the event were so eager to get the best seat in the house that they were queuing from 2.30am, some near seven hours before the first group had even teed off the third round.

On Saturday though, the early risers were treated to something special, with Sam Ryder producing the 10th ever hole-in-one at the 16th and his first in PGA Tour history. The ace, which caused a shower of beer cans to cover the green, obviously caused a storm on social media, with many, many, many reactions occurring on Twitter.

Check out our favourites, as well as the hole-in-one, below.
