Jordan Spieth tried his hand at “skipping 16” during Monday’s practice round and hit what will likely be one of the most impressive shots viewers see all week. Spieth skipped his golf ball straight across the water on number 16 onto the green and within about 10 feet of the hole.

Guys like Spieth make playing golf look easy, but when they pull out tricks like this one on the pond at 16 you realize just how effortless the game can be for them. (SLIDESHOW: The Best-Looking Wives And Girlfriends Of PGA Tour Golfers)
The Masters itself is a tradition unlike any other, but skipping over the pond on 16 is a practice round tradition on its own. Unfortunately we’ll probably never see someone take the risky shot during a real round, but we can always hope.
