BEL OMBRE, Mauritius — Javier Colomo pulled off the first hole-in-one on a par four in European and Asian Tour history to make the cut at the Mauritius Open on Friday.
Colomo sent his tee shot 330 yards (302 meters) with the driver and straight in at No. 9 — his last hole — for a rare albatross, or double eagle.
The European Tour said the Spaniard's "outrageous" shot was the first of its kind in the history of the two tours. Colomo needed to birdie the hole to make the cut.
"We couldn't see but we heard some guys shouting," he said.
