Aaron Baddeley with the greatest birdie of all time?

Australian golfer Aaron Baddeley sank his tee shot on the par-4 17th hole during the first round of the Valero Texas Open. But unfortunately for Baddeley he was only awarded a birdie instead of the ever-rare double eagle.
The reason for the discrepancy is that Baddeley was actually hitting his second tee shot, having hit his first attempt out of bounds.

According to the Golf Network, there has only been one recorded hole-in-one on a par 4 in PGA Tour history, coming back in 2001 by Andrew McGee.
Baddeley explained after the round that he had no idea his shot had on gone in the hole.
"I hit it straight and started walking off the tee," Baddeley told the Golf Channel. "All of the sudden everyone in the crowd started going crazy and I was like 'I think I just made birdie.' So that was crazy."
As of this writing, no video has been made public as Baddeley was on the 16th hole when coverage of the first round ended on the Golf Channel.
Baddeley shot a 4-under 68 and is one stroke behind the leader.

According to deadspin...

This all went down at the Texas Open today, just after Golf Channel ended live coverage—so finding video of the feat has been hard to come by. (We'll update the post if it ever turns up.) But here's the PGA Tour shot graph:

Gotta feel like a boss after doing that.

So he hit a hole in one on a par 4; but he got credit for a birdie, and no one at golf network got it on video?
That kinda sucks.

I wonder if that qualifies as the longest shot ever made?
