Dustin Johnson and JB Holmes fired holes-in-one within 30 minutes of each other during the third round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

The American duo both nailed the 207-yard par-three fourth in blustery conditions to send the fans wild at Doral.

Johnson was the first to card a hole-in-one, seeing his tee-shot pitch on-line and roll into the centre of the cup to make amends in style for dropping a shot on the second.

Overnight leader Holmes followed suit two groups later, producing an almost identical shot with a seven-iron from the tee to extend his advantage at the top of the leaderboard. 

The pair holing the fourth makes it the first time two players have aced the same hole in the same round since The Barclays two years ago, as well as extends the year's tally of PGA Tour hole-in-one's to 15.
