In 1994, legendary DP World Tour player Miguel Ángel Jiménez achieved one of golf’s rarest accomplishments when he made an albatross on the iconic 17th hole at Real Club Valderrama after holing his 2nd shot from the fairway, prompting a one-of-a-kind celebration from the Spaniard in front of his home fans.
