In golf, aces can come at the most unexpected moments. It certainly did for Mark Hubbard on Thursday.

Hubbard is currently playing in Day 1 of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, which is being held at the Detroit Golf Club. And he was absolutely convinced that he had beefed his shot at the 216-yard, par-3 11th. Hubbard was so sure that he'd screwed it up that he dropped his club on the ground just a moment after he struck the ball.

"That's embarrassing," Hubbard said as he watched the ball fly away from him.

Except it wasn't embarrassing.
