Aaron Baddeley hit a hole-on-one on a par 4 at the Texas Open.
Australian golfer Aaron Baddeley sank his tee shot on the par-4 17th hole during the first round of the Valero Texas Open. But unfortunately for Baddeley he was only awarded a birdie instead of the ever-rare double eagle.
The reason for the discrepancy is that Baddeley was actually hitting his second tee shot, having hit his first attempt out of bounds.
The shots are outlined in this graphic produced by the PGA Tour.
