Danish professional golfer Morten Orum Madsen claimed a share of the lead with a hole-in-one in an eagle-eagle finish to card a first-round 63 at the Tshwane Open in South Africa.
Madsen got his ace on the eighth, his 17th, in Waterkloof and was the 20th on the European Tour this season, the BBC reported.
The Dane said that he couldn't have hit it better, adding that it was only his second hole-in-one and claimed that it is really special to have one on the European Tour.
England's David Horsey shot a 63 to join him at the top of the leaderboard, the report added.
