Shortly before Victor Perez made a hole in one at the Porsche Open on the European Tour, Ugo Coussaud also offered himself an ace on the Challenge Tour.
We are at hole number 4, a par 3 of 175m, the Frenchman sends his iron shot into the hole but does not immediately realize his feat.
« It was my first hole in one, but I didn’t see the ball bounce. When we got to the green, the cameraman said, “It’s in, it’s in.” I was a little surprised, but it was a great shot and I was lucky he got in. I had not expected such a start. I just tried to play good golf. My putter was very hot and I had good opportunities with a few putts from three to five yards ».
The first for Coussaud
With a card of 64 (-6), Coussaud is currently in the lead at -12. The pupil of Olivier Léglise is two steps ahead of the Dane Nicolai Kristensen and will try tomorrow to win his first title on the Challenge Tour.
The French player is already thinking about his day on Sunday: “ We’ll see what happens tomorrow, but I’ll try my best. »
