Hole-in-one alert! Prayad Marksaeng celebrates Indian Open ace
Friday 20 February 2015 16:10, UK
Prayad Marksaeng is the proud owner of a new motorbike after making a superb hole-in-one in the second round of the Hero Indian Open.
The Thai veteran achieved the feat at the 182-yard fifth hole at the Delhi Golf Club - his 14th of the day - during a one-under 70 that left him six shots off the lead heading into the weekend.
Marksaeng hit a high and handsome soft draw with a six-iron, and his ball pitched 10 feet short of the target before catching the right-to-left break and rolling straight into the centre of the cup.
The ace swept the 49-year-old to six under for the tournament, although he then lost ground on the leaders as he bogeyed two of his last three holes.
Marksaeng's perfect shot was the second hole-in-one of the day after home player Abhinav Lohan aced the 171-yard 17th hole midway through his round.
Sadly for Lohan, there was no prize on offer at that hole, and he crashed out of the event on seven over after closing with a quadruple-bogey eight when he needed a birdie to make the halfway cut.
