Chase Koepka got an early shower in the middle of a golf tournament down in Australia — but he wasn’t being doused with water, it was booze … and for good reason too.
The pro golfer was teeing off Sunday in Adelaide — where LIV Golf is hosting a tournament with a sellout crowd in attendance — and on the 12th stop of the course, he hit a hole in one … which is pretty impressive considering it’s a par-3.

The spectators thought so too … so much so, in fact, that they started chucking their beers, cans and cups right at the dude from up in the stands. A literal beer shower, if you will.
CK didn’t mind it one bit … he was absolutely stoked and reveling in the brew — rightly so. BTW, the whole beer-throwing thing here is a tradition at this hole in particular … it’s apparently known as the “Watering Hole,” so the athletes know what they’re in for.
Absolute mayhem at the Watering Hole! ☔️#LIVGolf pic.twitter.com/uoV1vd0Pco

Koepka commented on the drizzle later on, and it didn’t bother him one bit. He’s quoted as saying … “I smelled like beer the whole entire rest of the day. Yeah, it was wild. Crazy experience. I mean, obviously to do it on a hole like that was super special.”
The American golfer is far from the only star to be out there at the Grange Golf Club this weekend … he’s joined by other stars in the sport like Ian Poulter, Paul Casey and Phil Mickelson — who abandoned the PGA and linked up with the Saudis for this new league.
So far, it seems to be worthwhile.
