WHEN FELIPE AGUILAR approached his second shot on the par-four 18th during the final round of The Championship at Laguna National in Singapore this morning, he must have been pretty confident of getting the ball close enough for the birdie that would likely see him into a playoff.
The Chilean had, afterall, already carded eight birdies in an error free round to move from four shots back overnight to within a shot of the lead on the last.
However, the 39-year old did what no other golfer had ever done before and became the first man to win a European Tour event with an eagle on a par-four final hole.
