Paul Casey and David Howell were four ahead with five holes to play in their Saturday foursomes match at the K Club in 2006, giving them a commanding advantage over Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson.

The groups made their way to the 213-yard 14th, where Casey nailed his tee shot with a four-iron and rolled into the cup, seeing him become just the fourth Englishman in history to register a hole-in-one in Ryder Cup action.
