Robert MacIntyre Tries to Make a Hole-In-One with 500 balls

DP World Tour Originals presents the Chase The Ace Hole-In-One Challenge, episode five.

With one day and exactly 500 balls to play with, we challenged the two-time DP World Tour winner to defy the odds and make a hole-in-one. Bob has been asked to take on the par three signature 8th hole at Pinheiros Altos Golf Club in the Algarve, Portugal. Only an ace is good enough on a hole measuring 142 yards.

Could he find that one, perfect shot which only one man had managed in the history of this challenge – Andy Sullivan made an ace at The London Club with his 230th attempt, with Edoardo Molinari, Brandon Stone and Thomas Pieters all unable to achieve the feat.

Here’s what happened…

This is how you gain fans guys. I’d never heard of Robert before and after a few minutes I’ll pull for him whenever I see his name.

Love it. Plenty of emotion from the man. Was absolutely beating himself up for not hitting every one in the hole.

[joerev]

The level these guys are at is frightening. Soul destroying when they are less than a foot from an ace. Brilliant stuff.

[TheBabstahiti]

It is crazy how accurate he is !!! Good job
