The pressure must be pretty intense when you approach your last hole knowing you need a birdie to make the cut
Which makes Javier Colomo’s hole-in-one at the Mauritius Open all the more impressive.
The Spaniard pulled out his driver at the par-4 ninth hole at the Heritage Golf Club and sent his ball 330 yards and into the cup for the first ever hole-in-one albatross on the European or Asian Tours.
Colomo’s spectacular effort comes just a week after England’s Danny Willett came within inches of pulling off the feat at the World Match Play Championship in San Francisco.
I needed a birdie on my last hole par4 to make the cut @AfrAsiaMRUOpen but I thought an albatross hole-in-one was much better 😁💪 #CrazyGame
