England’s Tommy Fleetwood scores an Albatross on the par five 4th hole at the BMW PGA Championship.

The young Englishman became only the third player in tournament history to achieve the feat when he holed his second shot to the par-five fourth hole just moments before Miguel Angel Jimenez aced the second in a momentous period of golf at Wentworth.

Ironically, Jimenez was the last player to make an albatross at the fourth on the West Course in 2009, while Pierre Fulke made a two at the long 12th back in 1994.

Fleetwood followed up a fairway-splitting drive with a perfect seven-iron from 198 yards, his ball digging in and spinning left before dropping into the cup.

It was the 92nd albatross in European Tour history, and the third this season after Francois Coetzee at the Joburg Open and Javier Colomo at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open earlier this month.
