Sergio Garcia sinks hole-in-one
Spanish professional golfer Sergio Garcia has proven he is a force to be reckoned with at this week's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by sinking a hole-in-one.

The talented player, as well as compatriot Jose Manuel Lara, enjoyed the coveted shot on the 186-yard 12th hole during the first round yesterday (January 26th).

Wearing a bright yellow polo shirt, the world number 17 took part in a humorous celebration after his seven-iron drive bounced twice and rolled into the cup.

Although Garcia went on to bogey the next shot, his fellow countryman enjoyed the same achievement just one hour later on the par-three hole.

Lara - who has enjoyed two wins on the European Tour - finished the day one shot ahead of Garcia with an opening round score of 70.

Fans of golf around the world will know the skill and accuracy required for a hole-in-one, while most players will never achieve this in their lifetime. ADNFCR-1532-ID-801276558-ADNFCR
