Using a six-iron on the 205 yard par three at Jumeriah Golf Estates, the Dane's shot bounced on the green, taking a big hop before rolling down into the cup to earn the prize, awarded to the first Player to make a hole-in-one on the 13th hole during any of the four Tournament Days
Captured on a phone and speaking immediately after, Nørgaard called the shot 'lucky', as he admitted his caddie joked ahead of the shot that they could get an upgraded flight on the way home if he holed it.
"I don't even know what to say," he said.
"He called it before the shot. Let's try and get upgraded on the way home. Then I hit a skinny six iron ... and then it went in. Pretty lucky!"
