The Phoenix Open delivered another wild moment after Carlos Ortiz become the second man in just 20 hours to produce a hole-in-one.

The Phoenix Open crowd stunned the golf world yesterday when Sam Ryder aced the famous 16th hole.

It's a hole like no other in golf, with the par-3 surrounded by grandstands filled with fired-up fans typically fuelled by alcohol.

Today, history repeated itself when Ortiz left the crowd showering both the stands and the course in beer when he made history on the same hole.

But this time it was even more impressive, with Ortiz using a 9-iron to achieve the ace from 178 yards, 54 yards further than Ryder's attempt.

"I honestly thought it was a little bit short," Ortiz said "That's why I started walking. I was pretty surprised that got in.

"I don't even know what to say. It was unbelievable. I didn't know how to react."

Ortiz claimed he was hit on the back by a flying beer can.

"A lot of people cheering for you and then you start trying to watch out for your head because I got actually nailed pretty hard on the back with a beer can on the back, and then after that, I was just trying to just avoid all the cans I could," he added.

"They were throwing things at me, so I threw something back to them."
