Si Woo Kim made a hole-in-one during the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday, and he celebrated like a mad man.

Kim had his ace on the 252-yard par-3 6th hole, dropping his score for the round to six under par. After his shot hit the green and rolled in, Kim went running up the fairway and threw his club into the air.

Throwing your club into the air and letting it land on the course is not exactly proper golf etiquette, but it’s hard to blame the man for being so excited about his huge shot.

Kim followed up his hole-in-one with a birdie on the par-5 7th hole to briefly move into a tie for second.

The 29-year-old South Korean golfer entered the PGA Championship having won five times on the PGA Tour. His best finish at a major came in 2021 when he finished tied for 12th at the Masters.
