South Korean golf star Si Woo Kim made history by hitting the longest ever hole-in-one at a major during the PGA Championship.

After Rory McIlroy won The Masters last month, the next major of the year, the PGA Championship, started this week at the Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

During the 6th hole on Friday, history was made as Kim managed to hit a stunning 252-yard hole-in-one.

The previous record was actually set by Kim himself, when he managed a 238-yard effort at Royal Troon last year.

After seeing his effort go in, Kim celebrated by throwing his 5-wood into the air as fans were left stunned.

During Sky Sports' coverage of the Friday Night Football, former Liverpool and England man Jamie Redknapp was heard saying: "Every time I watch him, he nearly gets a hole-in-one, he's got a great swing, really like him."

He continued: "Oh wow, stop it! Can't believe that!"

Manchester United legend Roy Keane added: "Great shot!"

Reacting to his own shot, Kim said: "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.

"Last record was me, too, because I’ve kind of made similar number at Royal Troon, so that was longest maybe major history hole-in-one."

The world number 66 ended the day tied in second place with Matt Fitzpatrick and Matthieu Pavon.

The current leader is Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela, who is ranked 70th in the PGA Tour world ranking and is two shots ahead of the trio in second place.


Looking ahead, Kim 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."

He continued: "I'm just going to try to play my golf and just try to have fun."
