Bhullar hits hole-in-one

MUNICH, Germany: Indian golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar sunk a hole-in-one at the European Tour event in Munich on Friday, winning a car worth 194,000 euros ($219,705) for his efforts.

The 31-year-old, ranked 175th in the world, holed his tee shot on the par-three 17th hole after starting his second round on the back nine. Bhullar’s short-iron shot bounced in the fringes of the green before trickling forward and dropping into the side of the cup.

He had also made an eagle at the par-five 11th in Thursday’s opening round, but he followed his ace with a run of three straight bogeys to fall five strokes behind clubhouse leader Christiaan Bezuidenhout of South Africa.
