English junior costs himself ace, course record

English junior golfer Josh Hogarth should be pleased after winning a junior event at the Alister MacKenzie-designed South Moor Golf Club last week, but he's probably still feeling some sting.

En route to the title, Hogarth, 15, made a hole-in-one at the 186-yard, par-3 14th ... but then the Rules of Golf got in the way.

Hogarth's tee shot came to rest lodged the flagstick and the edge of the hole. When he reached the green, he made the mistake of pulling the pin straight up, bringing the ball out of the hole.

Gutted - Josh Hogarth, 15, missed out on course record @SMGCChat and a hole in one after his tee shot lodged against the flag.
