Tony Finau will need a better celebration – because he nearly severely hurt himself.

Finau aced the seventh hole during the Masters Par 3 contest on Wednesday. After the ball dropped, he ran down the short fairway with arms raised in celebration.

However, when he turned around to face the tee he twisted and appeared to dislocate his left ankle. The injury drew gasps from the crowds.

Finau appeared to pop his ankle back in place and made his way back to the tee box.

Finau continued to play the event.

There was no immediate word whether the injury would cost his a chance to play his first Masters.
