Bautista was competing at the TGR Jr Invitational event run by Woods’ charitable foundation in Pebble Beach, California.

As one of 60 of the world’s most gifted young golfers, he was able to test his skills at The Hay and The Links courses.

He showed no signs of nerves at performing in front golf royalty Woods.

Not content with hitting a single hole-in-one, Bautista then remarkably added a second.

Following initial celebrations, the youngster was introduced to Woods.

In a heartwarming moment, the 47-year-old said: “I’m proud of you.”

The ever-competitive American then added: “Let’s keep it going, hey.”

Fans loved the interaction, with one tweeting: “Priceless!”

A second gushed: “Congrats to this kid who now has the best hole-in-one story of all time.”

Another added: “What a legendary moment.”

Woods missed the cut at The Masters in April and has not played competitively since.

It has not yet been confirmed when the veteran will return to action.

According to Golf Channels’ Todd Lewis, there is a “good chance” that Woods will make his comeback in The Bahamas next month.

Following The Masters Woods was forced to undergo surgery on his ankle to fix post-traumatic arthritis following his 2021 car accident.

Ahead of his potential comeback, Woods was spotted practising in Pebble Beach over the weekend.
