Watch: First hole-in-one at British Open since 2012
Screen Shot 2015-07-18 at 2.15.27 PMPlaying in his first-ever British Open, 28-year-old Englishman Daniel Brooks is likely to miss the cut at St. Andrews barring a phenomenal finish, but he hit arguably the best shot of the tournament Saturday. Brooks started the second round on Friday four shots over the cut line and dropped to 6-over par through 10 holes, but made a hole-in-one at the par-3 11th.
Brooks is the first golfer to make a hole-in-one at the British Open at St. Andrews since 1990, and the first in any Open since 2012.
