Nicolai Højgaard: 2 holed-out eagles in 3 holes on DP World

Nicolai Højgaard is hoping to use this week's DP World Tour event in his native Denmark as a boost to his Ryder Cup hopes for Team Europe.

He certainly got some attention with his play Thursday.

Højgaard remarkably carded two eagles in a three-hole span - both on hole-outs - in the opening round of the Danish Golf Championship en route to a 3-under 68.

The first eagle, at the par-4 12th, came from 112 yards out. Højgaard landed his approach from the fairway well past the whole, then watched it spin back and in.
