This Eddie Pepperell hole-in-one is almost too impossible to believe

Christopher PowersOctober 12, 2018

Has Eddie Pepperell just made the most bizarre ace in history? Overnight, the likeable Englishman notched a hole-in-one that is almost too impossible to be real. See for yourself:

How?! The ball bounces off the flagstick, away from the hole, lands and bounces back into the cup, defying all logic, physics, etc. Here’s a GIF you can watch on repeat forever while simultaneously questioning how this actually happened:

The ace came at the par-3 ninth hole at Walton Heath Golf Club, and it netted $20,000 for charity. A Sky Sports reporter caught up with Pepperell after the wild shot, and he was in top form as usual:

Pepperell has always been bluntly honest, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he really did wish there was a car to win instead, but we guess $20,000 to charity will do (we’re also kidding). How did the Englishman follow it up? How about with a birdie and an eagle to vault to the top of the leaderboard at six-under (he would end the round tied for the lead at five-under):

Ace – Birdie – Eagle.

That’ll do. The European Tour, so hot right now… the European Tour.
