It’s taken 35-years of tournament golf at Sun City but finally someone has managed to record a hole-in-one.
Grabbing the historic honour was Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti who aced par three, fourth hole to also record his first ace of his European Tour career.
Hitting a 7-iron, Zanotti leapt not only in the air but also to the then top of the leader board on six-under par.
His only downturn was the prize of a gleaming new Volvo S-90 sedan was up for grabs for an ace at the par three, 16th on the Gary Player course.
“It was very strange when the people from the tournament told me mine was the first hole-in-one, so that makes it extra special for me.”
Remarkably, it has been 35 years and 128 rounds on the Gary Player course before a first ace in the £5.7m event as well as being Zanotti’s first on the Tour.
