Golf is back at the Olympics and a Canadian has made history.

With the sport returning to the Olympics for the first time since St. Louis 1904, it is a big hit at the Youth Games in Nanjing where Vaughan, Ontario’s Tony Gil hit a hole-in-one on Tuesday.

Gil became the first golfer to achieve the feat in Olympic history. His dream shot in Nanjing came on the par-three third hole.

We have the first hole-in-one in Olympic history here on day 1 @youtholympics. Canada's Tony Gil scores an ace at the 3rd hole. 7-iron 164Y. — Olympic Golf (@OlympicGolf) August 19, 2014

Incidentally, Canada presently holds the men’s individual Olympic golf title as George Lyon won gold in 1904.
