Romain Wattel Lands Second Swiss Ace But No New Car.
Frenchman Romain Wattel became the second player in two days to ace the par three 11th but unfortunately he missed out on the prize of a gleaming new BMW.
The prize of a new car had been grabbed a day earlier by England’s Graeme Storm.
Wattel’s only reward was the honor on the next tee but then organisers will be sure of present him with a large bottle of bubbly.
It was a first Tour hole-in-one for both players and also came after the pair had bogeyed the 10th hole.

There’s the usual prize of a gleaming new car and sometimes a house, maybe a gold bar or in the case in one event in Australia the price for an ace was a full funeral service.
But the prize of a trip into outer ...
