Watch Brett Rumford almost make a hole-in-one at the Lyoness Open in Austria

Brett Rumford is off to a good start at the European tour’s Lyoness Open in Australia this week and he very nearly aced the par-3 14th hole.

Rumford followed a birdie with this superb tee shot at the par-3 14th hole at the Lyoness Open overnight. Rumford followed this with an eagle to get his score to 3-under par but a series of bogeys on his back nine saw the 39-year-old from Perth settle for a 1-under-par opening round, six shots behind the leader Felipe Aguilar.
