Lasse Jensen holed his three-iron from 240 yards for an albatross on the 14th Hole at Sun City.

Lasse Jensen produced one of the shots of the 2016 European Tour season as he made a remarkable albatross on the second day of the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

The young Dane dropped back to one over for the tournament when he bogeyed the 10th and 12th holes at the Gary Player Country Club, but he provided the perfect response at the 601-yard, par-five 14th.

Jensen split the fairway with a perfect drive which left him 240 yards to the pin, and he opted to smash a high fade with a three-iron for his second shot.

His ball flirted with the front-right bunker, but it made the carry by a matter of inches and took two kindly hops in the fringe before bounding onto the green and finding just enough of the cup to drop for a two.

Jensen's stunning blow, the third albatross on the European Tour this season, eclipsed the historic hole in one made by Fabrizio Zanotti earlier in the day - the first ace in 31 years of the tournament.
