In pictures: Golf girl's hole-in-one!

Adam and Rhiannon

Sportsround's Adam went along to find out about the latest golfing sensation, but who is the potential superstar?

Rhiannon

It's Rhiannon, who amazed her friends and family when she hit a hole-in-one at her local course, aged just nine!

The 17th hole

She hit the shot on the 17th green, almost at the end of her round.

Getting a hole-in-one is amazing in itself, but Rhiannon is the youngest female player in the world to do it!

So Sportsround decided to see if she could repeat the feat, starting on the tee.

The swing is all important, and even at nine Rhiannon's is pretty good. She had the ball more than 100 metres to reach the hole.

While walking the course Rhiannon explained how it all happened, and added that she's only been playing the sport for four months.

But the question is, did Rhiannon beat the odds and get another hole-in-one this time?

Rhiannnon didn't quite manage the feat again this time though. Mind you, the maths of doing it again say it will take another 12,000 holes before Rhiannon gets another one - that's a lot of golf!
