Alex Noren’s 2-under 70 certainly wasn’t the best round on Moving Day at the Hero World Challenge ... but it was easily the wildest.
And it doesn’t get any wilder than a hole-in-one, which Noren scored on the 181-yard 17th hole by bouncing one just short of the pin before his ball found the bottom of the cup:

While the ace was the highlight of Noren’s day, it was only a small part of a crazy stretch of holes for the 10-time European Tour winner.
The 36-year-old Swede only made two pars on his back nine, and played his last five holes in 3 under by going birdie-eagle-triple bogey-ace-birdie.
Check out this scorecard:
Mr. Noren’s wild ride got him to 8 under through three rounds - good enough for T-8 and within striking distance of the lead with 18 holes to play.
