Aaron Cockerill goes from two aces in a week, to a quad and then a DQ

If you thought Rory McIlroy’s first round scorecard at the Tour Championship last week was eclectic, you’re going to be dumbfounded by this one.

Let’s set the stage: it’s the first round of Made in HimmerLand – this week’s DP World Tour stop – and Canadian Aaron Cockerill is off to a solid start. The 30-year-old makes the turn at 3 under and bogey-free through the front nine.

Then, things start going sideways.

Cockerill’s back nine starts like this: Bogey, par, bogey, double bogey, par, par, ace.

An ace? Yep, you read that right. After jumping to 1 over, Cockerill teed up at the 128-yard par-3 16th and notched a hole-in-one – his second in a week.
