Australia’s Aaron Baddeley is the talk of the US PGA Tour after a scarcely believable birdie made him clubhouse leader in the Texas Open.
Baddeley pulled his tee shot out of bounds to the left on the 336-yard 17th hole at TPC San Antonio.
Forced to take a penalty and tee up again, he holed his second drive for a birdie three.
It’s believed to be only the second time in US PGA Tour history that a player has holed out from the tee on a par four.
However the wayward first drive means it doesn’t compare with Andrew Magee’s hole in one albatross in 2001.
Baddeley finished with a four-under-par 68 to be the early first round clubhouse leader.
