European Tour golfer had no idea he hit a hole-in-one
When you make a hole-in-one... ?

but don't realise until you the reach the green. #VolvoChinaOpenhttps://t.co/qq3fhTntPJ
The European Tour's second event of the year in China got underway Thursday at Topwin Golf and Country Club in Beijing, and it didn't take long for Sweden's Rikard Karlberg to hit what will likely stand as the shot of the week.
Karlberg aced the 212-yard Par-3 16th hole - but he didn't know he had just won himself a new Volvo until he arrived at the green. Karlberg's playing partner Stephen Gallacher told him on the tee box that the ball was just short of the cup.
Hard to see in the low morning sun and Gallacher´s comment that it was 6 inches short didn´t make me jump either :) https://t.co/3NIE7Lyesy
