DP World Tour pro embarrassed as he's disqualified after making hole-in-one

Aaron Cockerill won't forget his first round at the Made in Himmerland tournament anytime soon after the high of a hole-in-one was soon replaced by an embarrassing low.

The Canadian star aced the famous 16th hole at the DP European Tour event, which took him to one under par and seemingly kept him in tournament contention. However, things quickly turned south when he recorded a quadruple bogey on the 17th, before a closing bogey made for a four over par 75.

Still, Cockerill still thought he had the hole-in-one to laud, especially given it came just seven days after his previous ace at the Omega European Masters. But the euphoria of the feat was soon ruined when he inadvertently got himself disqualified.
