Northampton rugby star Ben Foden played his own remarkable trick-shot at Wentworth Golf Club

Rugby union ace Ben Foden showed off his golfing skills as he joined Thorbjorn Olesen and trick-shot specialist Romain Bechu on the first tee at Wentworth.

Foden will be among several rugby stars, including Brian O'Driscoll, Will Carling and Will Greenwood, competing in the pre-tournament pro-am ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at European Tour HQ later this month.

The versatile Northampton back, who has been capped 35 times by England, watched Bechu perform an amazing "keepy-uppy" routine before he and Olesen were challenged to hit a shot standing on one leg.
