Ten golfers from the World Rankings for Golfers with Disability will compete in the 36-hole EDGA Scottish Open, teeing off approximately two hours before the first tee in the final two rounds of the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open.
Bradley Dredge made the first hole-in-one of his 20 year European Tour career at the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open to win a BMW X7.
The Welshman is a veteran of 475 appearances and chose one of the biggest stages of all to make his first ace, lighting up the Rolex Series as he holed a five iron from 200 yards on the 17th.
There were two holes-in-one on day one at the 15th at The Renaissance Club but they did not bring the spectacular prize that Dredge will be driving home - a BMW G07 X7 xDrive40i M Sport.
"It's been quite a few years coming," he said. "I've had ten holes-in-one but never in tournament play, it's nice to do it here.
"I got a very nice car by BMW so I'm pleased with that.
"The pin was in quite a friendly position, the wind is off the right slightly in. It was a comfortable five iron and I managed to hit a good shot.
"I couldn't actually see it going in but I could tell from the crowd's reaction that it's gone in."
Dredge's achievement is all the more remarkable when you consider the odds he has had to overcome to hit a perfect shot.
History has shown that ones on par threes measuring between 198-208 yards have been hard to find.
Player Quotes
Bernd Wiesberger: “Walking down the last, I was nine-under and had a chance to go to ten. I haven't shot ten in a professional event yet, so that was a nice bonus. It's just going with the flow and things worked out very well today - not thinking too much and just keep doing what I'm doing.
“I had a couple of chances out there and just took the last five quite nicely. I played quite solid - nothing out of the ordinary. I hit a lot of shots quite close and obviously coming in, finishing off with five birdies is a bonus but it was a good day out there today. I kept controlling my golf ball and took the chances when I had to take them.”
Lee Slattery: “I feel like all the hard work I've put in over the winter is starting to pay off now and just trying to finish the season off strong. A lot of Rolex Series Events to play and I feel I need to push this finish part of the season.
“I didn't play too much in the early part of the year which is different for me. Spent more time with the family. Got a young family and felt like it was important to spend more time with them this winter. Did a lot of gym work at home and I feel like the game is starting to come together a little bit.”
Erik van Rooyen: “It felt easy today, and it felt easy yesterday. When you're playing well, it just comes naturally. And when you don't -- I missed the cut last week, it kind of feels hard. It's great to go back-to-back seven-under.
“I had a good season last year, and I feel like we're just building upon that. A couple of good finishes this year, as well, and it's just fun to play back-to-back good rounds.”
Henrik Stenson: “It was the same as yesterday, six birdies and no bogeys, so that's always pleasing when you play 36 holes without dropping a shot. I’m just trying to keep up with the guys at the top of the leaderboard, and so far I'm pleased with the way I've played. A lot of good tee shots. A lot of good approaches and solid putting on the greens, even though I let one or two good chances slip by here on the back nine, I'm still pleased where I'm positioned after two rounds.”
