The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the DP World Tour is always one of the best events of the year. Not only is the field loaded, but the world’s best players walk the grounds of The Old Course at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns alongside family and friends. For example, this week, Rory McIlroy is playing with his dad, Gerry.
Nicolas Colsaerts is going to remember this tournament for a different reason.
During the third round on Saturday, Colsaerts’ second shot into the par-5 16th at Kingsbarns hit the front part of the green before rolling all the way up the backstop behind the pin. His ball lost momentum going up the hill and eventually started making its way back down the hill.
Then the ball found the bottom of the hole.
Albatross! Jumbo bird!
