Gareth Bale ecstatic after hitting his first ever hole in one at US Open golf course

Gareth Bale celebrated like he'd scored one of his trademark screamers after hitting his first ever hole in one.

The Welsh superstar, who retired from football in January after a spell with MLS side Los Angeles FC last year, is a golfing fanatic and currently spending plenty of time improving his game. Bale, 33, took to Torrey Pines this week, a course which has hosted the US Open on two occasions, once in 2008 and again in 2021.

In a video posted on Instagram, the former Tottenham and Real Madrid star showed off his feat, carefully lining himself up on the third hole of the south course before sinking his shot. Once the ball had rolled in, Bale leapt into the air in celebration and high-fived those playing alongside him.
