    • Hayden Porteous achieved the rare feat of two eagles in three holes.
    • Ernie Els was the only player to hit 18 greens in regulation.

    It’s not everyday a golfer holes out in quick succession – although Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.

    Eagle-par-eagle. Haydn Porteous knows how to finish a round! #QatarMasters

    Ernie Els became the only golfer to hit 100% of greens during his first round at the Qatar Masters.

    Easy. ???? #QatarMasters

    The legend has been struggling to overcome the yips and his affliction must have affected him slightly as he shot 5 under after this impressive display of ball striking, still not a bad day at the office. The South African still has one of the most enviable golf swings in the game. Simply effortless..

    Here’s how they lined up halfway through the second day.

    Sergi Garcia has plenty to dance about as the Spaniard found some form.

    Also at the party was the in form Branden Grace, the south African has moved to 11th in the world rankings. Here he is draining a 70 foot monster.

    Tommy Fleetwood is another guy to keep an eye on, the Englishman has also shot up the golfing ladder. Here’s his 99.9% perfect tee shot on the par three 13th.
