Tom Watson had yet another Open memory to savour after firing a hole-in-one during his second round at Royal St George's.
Just two years after having a putt to win a record-equalling sixth Open title at Turnberry and become the oldest major winner by 11 years, the 61 year old was again rolling back the years in glorious conditions on the Kent coast.
And just a day after playing partner Tom Lewis shot the lowest round in Open history by an amateur to claim a share of the overnight lead, Watson reclaimed the headlines by holing his tee shot to the 169 yard par three sixth.
The American's four iron approach was always right on line and bounced once before plummeting into the hole to spark a massive roar from the large gallery.
Watson is not the oldest player to record a hole-in-one in the Open however. Gene Sarazen was 71 when he aced the famous Postage Stamp at Troon in 1973.
The eagle took Watson from two over par to level, and when he two-putted the par five next for a birdie, he was just four off the lead.
