The video of the moment has reached more than half a million views on the official account of the Masters on X in less than four hours.

The footage shows how Christiana Ritchie executing a very clean swing, with a great back swing path, fluid and with a high level of footwork. As a result, the ball found the green cleanly and laid less than 10 feet from the hole.
