Ahead of being the VAR official for the MNF clash between Manchester United and Arsenal, live on Sky Sports, Dean has been out in Spain to act as a caddie during the Estrella Damm Mediterranean Ladies Open.

Dean has previously carried the bag for several players on the women's golf circuit in recent years, with the 51-year-old taking on the role for Australia's Whitney Hillier this week in Spain.

Hillier was two-under for her second round when she made her way to the par-three 17th hole, where she holed her tee shot with a five-iron for an unlikely ace.

The hole-in-one helped Hillier to a five-under 66 and lifted her within five strokes of the halfway lead, although it took her and Dean some time to work out exactly where the ball had gone!
