John Huh's affinity for the OHL Classic at Mayakoba continues.

Huh took home the title in Mexico in 2012, outlasting Robert Allenby in an eight-hole playoff en route to PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors. This week he sparked things at the par-3 15th hole, where he made a hole-in-one during the opening round from 159 yards with an 8-iron.

An ace is a prize in and of itself, but things got better for Huh -  the shot also earned him a new BMW 2 Series:

 

 

The ace helped the 24-year-old to a 2-under 69 in the opening round, putting him four shots off the pace. After a top-25 finish last week in Mississippi, he'll look to continue his momentum before heading into the offseason with a new set of wheels.
