- European Tour Originals presents the Chase The Ace Hole-In-One Challenge, episode 3. How many balls would it take a professional golfer to make a hole-in-one? The odds of an average golfer making an ace are roughly one in 100,000, while stats suggest a European Tour pro's chances are closer to one in 2,500. Introducing Andy Sullivan... With a day and 500 balls to play with on the 171-yard par three 11th hole on the Heritage Course at London Golf Club, we challenged the three-time European Tour winner to defy the odds. Could Englishman Sullivan succeed where Italian Edoardo Molinari and South African Brandon Stone could not and find that one, perfect shot? Here’s what happened…

"If i lose my cool it's over for me"
Cuts to a cursing spree 😂
"you FAT FUCK"
it's really annoying how pissed he gets. I completely understand the odds and how incredible it is to get a hole in one..... but when you stay on one hole hitting one ball after another, it shouldn't even matter or be a big deal to get a hole in one. If someone takes hundreds of shots IN A ROW on the same hole and gets a hole in one, it just just be meh. So i dont understand why he's so emotional about it. Annoying.
@@billyfraiser6298 do you not play golf? Its the most frustrating thing ive ever done. Its not a meh accomplishment. Many other pros in this series have trued it and not even gottennit in 500 shots. Stfu its annoying to read ur comment
"That is the biggest disappointment in the world"
- Me after every shot
We're with you.
I laughed so hard at this
@Marat V u well under average i can feel it
2:52 What my parents said when I was born
I can see why
Jk
0:00 What my parents said when i was born
Lord Flvcko i feel you man
My parents say that every time they see me for holidays
5:28 What my mum said when I was made
Imagine he had 500 balls, he walks up, first attempt sinks it and that's a wrap lol.
Would be a pretty short episode wouldn’t it
Yep, that would be a hole in one....he shot a hole in 200+
@@goinginwardistheonlyway493 No he reset the hole, otherwise to get a hole in one you need to get it on your first golf shot ever
@@stervenmealey1097 Reset the hole?? Haha....thats a great joke!
Probably hide the first one within about 140 attempts later
@5:33 Are we going to ignore the fact he tried to kick a grass pile and missed 😂😂😂
Tyler Bryan yes
Tyler Bryan I was thinking he was going to start rolling down the fucking hill lmfao
I didn't don't worry, about cried laughing
😂😂💀
He was on the run tho
5:24-5:30 me after sinking a 15ft putt for bogey on the 18th to beat my brother 96 to 95. 🤣
Kent Hanna lol same😂
I'm dead
Kent Hanna I get you 100% always play my brother and it’s like The Open every round😆
mad specific
I can feel that comment🤣
5:24 The most athleticism I’ve ever seen from a golf player.
You must not have seen them walk all the way to each hole. Thats why their all in prime shape, i.e. phil mickleson aka mantits.
@@iwatchvideos297 or if they've been working out too much they take the golf buggy, like John Daly at Augusta
Bemon You must have missed the part when they smash a tiny ball 300 yards away
iwatchvideos it’s a joke mate
He’s one of the least athletic pro golfers I know of
Thoughts for the cameraman who had to follow precisely the path of the ball 230 times
nice way to spoil it
@@pontusolssonPrivat why would they publish it otherwise?
F
@@satyris410 they have made this video before with other people who were not able to make it
@@satyris410 uhhh... what the guy above me said
From a data visualization perspective, it would be amazing if there was a heatmap that displayed where each of his attempts landed.
ohh damn thats a great idea! @european tour...something to think about!!
As well as breaking it down by shot group, e.g. shots 1-50, 51-100, etc.
The Stats 📊
• 171 yards
• 230 shots
• 217 Greens in Regulation (94%)
• 90 shots within 10ft (39%)
• 42 shots within 5ft (18%)
• 8 balls in the bunker (3%)
• 14.8 ft average proximity
• 1 hole in one
#ChaseTheAce
@@DPWorldTour Nevermind the hole in 1, that fact that he hit the green on 94% of 230 shots from 171 yards is blowing my mind.
Springveldt nah perfect calm sponge of a green middle flag no pressure. But 39% within 10ft is dialled in
This video is a great example on how some boring idea can be enhanced and seem thrilling with great editing power.
Idelan94 are you suggest this is fake?
@@jamamafegan4 No
Just show the best clips crammed into six minutes.
Honestly it’s not a boring idea if you and your buds are all trying it together but watching him hit 230 balls in a row would surely put me to sleep.
@@Droolboy nothings boring when you live the way of the playa
3:07 me when I'm trying to do homework at 1 am
Kevin Deasy fax
Lol fr though
On a good day I land 1 ball in 500 on the green!
BudgeThePutcher me to
BudgeThePutcher this man speaks the universal truth 😂
😂😂💯
BudgeThePutcher that’s pretty impressive
Hahahahahahahaha
The consistency of his shots was amazing. And his excitement was electric! Love it!! What a stud.
The video shows less than 10 % of the shots, and obvisously the closest ones to the pin. I think talking about consistency would make sense if they put them all on the video. I'm pretty sure every player on the tour can put 1 ball out of 10 in a 1 yard radius of the pin, specially repeating the same swing again and again. Agree with you for the excitement though!
@@vincevega7691 Entirely valid point. I just found previous videos only really showed a handful of close pin shots out of 500. This one seemed to show a ton with only half the shots taken. But you are totally right that the other 90% could have been in the bunkers lol.

These stats looks pretty good to me! Thank you for the update
@@cocorico128 Those are some legit stats. Pretty accurate and consistent!
This is the best content on the channel hands down.
How so?
I never want to get to the point in golf where I am devastated that I only put the ball within five feet, and it not going in.
@@gitbint Just from a video perspective it's entertaining and its funny seeing a tour pro try to hit the hardest shot in golf
@@gitbint How about when you've set out with a purpose and 500 balls?
It's a game of discipline and effort. If I were trying for a hole in one, and put it three inches away, that'd be fantastic
Wrong to play "darts". They should play a knocked down shot at a beyond-the-pin pace that lands short and rolls up to the hole. Those who practice chipping hole out regularly and should know the rolling ball goes in much more often than any lob at the pin.
I come back to this video periodically because the pure joy and excitement in Andy's voice when he hits it is so hilarious. Love it.
5:26 me leaving school on the last day.
These Coments are a fucking Meme Trasuere
Class video 🙌 Well done Andy!
Hey rick
Yes rick you’re the best!!!
Rick I watch your videos
@@tratzza8189 no one asked
Love u Rick super inspired by you keep it up
I had visions of him dislocating his ankle like Finau
Same here
Same
I'm glad he missed that punt on the grass tuft
Same
Or blowing out his hamstring or his knee or breaking his ankle. And I think Ping is going to be disappointed that the hat fell off during that run.
I haven't seen someone that excited in a long time lol. LEGEND
His enthusiasm is amazing, even saying at the beginning how he was dreaming about it.
5:30 he reminds me of a kid running down the stairs on Christmas morning😭😂
😂😂😂😂 he's so happy😂
Lol I can’t even 😂
and you gonna ignore the fact that he failed to kick that grass
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
Kevin Wood well moron good for happy gilmohmygod!
Kevin Wood “oh you can count good for you” 😂😂😂😂
On a par 4!
Well good for Happy GilmoMYGOD!
I just laughed out loud in my office.
I have one thing in common with Andy and its not my iron shots but I definitely use the same language around the course.
Amen! Me too!!
People love to play with me because they say my compound cursing tangents are very creative, and almost poetic.
Ja MANN
@5:26 : when your mom brings home taco bell
Then you open the plastic bag and it smells like a fresh fart from 20 dudes in the prison bathroom...no thanks!
This goes for ANY fast food when you open the plastic bag, Chinese is the worst of all!
Talen Turnbaugh yeah
5:22 When you get that seed out your tooth
I knew from the beginning he’s gonna hole out. Something about his attitude was different in comparison to Molinari who did it earlier.
His attitude? It is mostly luck
Far from mostly luck! He was so accurate it’s unreal
@@PointNemo9 His shot pattern isn't random. Randomness is luck. This is increasing your probability of making one by hitting accurate shots. The more accurate you are (i.e. the tighter your shot distribution) the better the chance of it going in.
Italian Battali0n lol than why you scrolling through comments and not watching the video
@@lordpickl9749 That's on you, bro.
Emotional roller coaster throughout. His reaction upon making it in was pure joy. Pure pure joy. That was awesome
One of those moments when seeing someone else happy and it makes your whole day better.
230 shots and he acts as if he aced his first shot to win the masters ,,
5:23 not gonna lie, I got a little teary-eyed just then. You got me emotionally wrapped up in this! Well done!
No one at all:
TH-cam recommendations: Watch this guy try a hole-in-one with 500 balls
me: alright.
Love this guy. Seems so genuine and make me want to cheer him on.
I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for a pro to hit 3+ rounds worth of strokes at the exact same target without losing focus and morale (That celebration just made my day).
Thanks European Tour,
His celebration is awesome!!
I celebrate like this every time I hit a Fairway in regular 😂!!!
What's a fairway >?!!
"six inches right and about 4 inches short of the hole" sounds like the first time i tried to lose my virginity
How can you not love Andy Sullivan?! The European Tour have some great characters, and these videos are awesome to showcase those personalities!
I already loved Sully but to see him that happy was something else...Top bloke. Cheers from France !!!
Officially an Andy Sullivan fan now. Great job!
Technically that was a hole in 230
It was one shot from the tee
It is a hole in one because he shot from the tee and didnt play from where the Ball hit
Alexander Nielsen the fact that u think I’m being serious is dumbfounding
@@Alexander-yj2yb r/woooooosh
Tecnically, we call someone Like you an „Erbsenzähler” in Germany :D
i don't watch golf but i can tell you this guy is my favorite golfer.
A hole in one! Swing and a miss on the lump of grass...but a hole in one! Nice!
That reaction is me when I end up on the fairway instead of the rough or in a clump of trees for the first time that round (usually hole 7-8)
I bet he could actually hole a second one in total 500 attempts ;) :D
indy54931 oh yea for sure. he was all over it a couple of times just unlucky
Tom Spencer there is no “to an unknowing golfer statistic” you could have never swung a club before and still had the same odds as any person in the world. A hole in one is not a skill it’s a moment of pure luck.
@@jacobymast7021 If you have never swung a club before you ain't getting it 171yards. I guess pro golfers are just 'luckier' than amateurs then, smh...
@@jacobymast7021 A professional golfer will more consistently hit the ball into the green, therefore it is statistically higher for a professional golfer to get a hole in one than an ammeter.
Jacoby Mast most stupid comment I’ve ever read
His reaction to the hole in one is mine when i get on the green
just watched this today for the first time. This guy seems like a really good dude. He has a new fan.
One of the best challenge series on youtube! The dedication from this guy felt sincere and seeing his reaction was too wholesome
I've been playing for 8 years and I finally got mine last November. 162 yards actual..big gusty wind dead against. I played it 172/175...bounced ten feet short once and rolled in. I went ballistic like he did. Bravo man Bravoo!!
Got my first one October 12 after 12 years. Always told myself I'd play it cool if I ever got one, but that didn't happen lol there's no way to prepare for that jolt of adrenaline and excitement. Spun it back about 9 feet too, so it was really fun for us to watch!
Early April, 1996. Overcast, cool, and windy in Michigan. Hit a choked down five wood directly into a two club wind. Never saw it after it got half way to the green. Picked up my bag, and started walking. No ball in sight. Nothing short, left, right, or long. Then it hit me, “you don’t suppose that damn thing went in”? I walked toward the pin like walking toward a 500 foot cliff, not wanting to look down.......there it was!!!!!!!! Still brings a smile to my face!⛳️🏌️🙏
What a fantastic video!! I seriously love these. Only the 3rd one I've watched, not sure how many have been filmed, but I was so excited to finally see someone make it!!
Watched this video about 10times, his motivation levels and positivity is really motivating 👌
Pure class! His reaction priceless..
And how many times was he close.. Incredible dialled in big time! Hats off sir!
Not only is Andy a truly great golfer, he seems genuinely thrilled ! good for him! He just got a new fan
Pure joy. Mr. Sullivan just experienced and expressed pure joy, and in the process, gave us a little bit as well. Congrates, Andy, and good luck on the tour.
Dear Andy, great attempt. Learned that no matter what calibre of golfer we are...it seems to be human to get frustrated and even worse: let in doubt and get harsh on ourselves for not succeeding immediately. The greatest success is your stubbornness therefore. And mental toughness, which enabled you to finally make it happen (and receive the joy, you deserved). So inspiring. Thanks again for taking this adventure.
the European tour knows how to entertain! fantastic video as always.
Oh god his reaction is the fuckin best got me hella excited
Omar Abbas that turf kick!
Best video on the internet ! 🔥🔥 We need more like these !
May we get an uncesored version at some point? 😂
And uncut hopefully 🤣
I love when they uploads this kind of content i love it
Wcarestam you're welcome!
3:08 Me in the middle of a test
Andy Sullivan you are a legend. So genuine and down to earth. Fantastic!
The most motivational video of the year !
Thanks TH-cam for recommending me this !
His reaction is priceless! Great video!
He just seems like a really good bloke, really happy for him
I smiled from ear to ear when he holed it. What a brilliant video. I loved the natural language, very authentic.
That was awesome. Well done Andy. Can't wait for the next installment!
A.S. has the most charismatic and funny personality in the golfing world! Absolute legend 👑
5.23 - reaction made me laugh so loud sittning in a crowded bus on my way home 😂
This video demonstrates the emotional swings the game of golf can cause!
One of my favorite videos on TH-cam
That was a top watch. Andy comes over as a quality bloke and to see him hit so many so close, then finally get one was ace!
okay im done youtube recommendations. i finally watched it, are you happy now?
I’m still smiling from your victory celebration 😃 well done mate
Don't watch or care for golf, but I needed his energy. Ty🤙
He is without doubt the most down to earth and regular guy on the tour. Always smiling and always the same fun golfer either on the tour or on his home course (Nuneaton).
I've watched this a few times already and his reaction still cracks me up.
Sergio Velasquez Neither a player winning a championship had such happiness ever. I can only imagine the frustration after all that failed shots
I give this guy props just for going out knowing he could do 500 swings.... I feel for his body
Yeah I was just thinking about how knackered I am after a box of 90 balls at the range or even more knackered after 18 holes hitting 110 shots. 500 would kill me, I'd be taking putting swings by the end
@@satyris410 it's probably less effort for this guy too though, unless you have mastered technique to put little effort in.
You could feel the happiness from him there and the buzz he had. Brilliant!!!
This is such a great video! I enjoyed every moment of it.
that mound kick was my fav. part
The pure and utter elation when he sinks it! Contagious. Couldn't help but smile.
I love the commentary!! Absolutely hilarious!!!!
Best golf video I've seen in a while!
Thomas Pieters doing this would be absolutely entertaining!
The way he breaks clubs they would need to bring enough 8 irons to keep a small manufacturer going for a year.
It would be a combination for him of the hole-in-one challenge and the 14 club challenge because he'd break all his clubs.
I just came back to this and the comments are priceless...
That was a ball striking display right there...
Thank God for subtitles!
Would love to play a round with Andy.....my favorite from the European Tour. Well done sir!
It'd probably take me 229 shots to get dialed in like this.
No, wait. 229 thousand. I meant 229 thousand.
Pfft, nobody likes a bragger.
5:32 not entirely sure what he was thinking there...
The genuine energy of this guy is what the world needs
I've been waiting for this
Probably one of the most underrated players on both tours.
Underrated is one of the most overrated word of Internet comments :) I love Andy Sullivan, he is a funny fellow, but on a basically result oriented point of view, he is well below average since his peak year in 2015 with 3 wins on Europen Tour and a qualification for Ryder Cup 2016 (where he did very poorly as all Englishmen that year). No top 10 on Majors, no top 15 on WGC, no significant result for around 30 months… I'm afraid Beef and him are really struggling transforming huge popularity into good results. Great video though.
5:22(When you pass a test you expected to fail)
The production quality of these videos are movie worthy.
Absolutely stunning mate. I got chills. Well done. What an EPIC shot. Persistence is key
I find it weird that I'm GENUINELY happy for him. I pumped my fist when it went in. It kinda makes me feel like going out there, and do it myself.
Andy Sullivan is now my second favorite player (behind tiger)
The joy when it goes in!! Priceless!
That reaction was gold…love the passion
Your editor needs a raise! He had of lot of work to do with all those bleeps🤣
5:30 after breaking 90 but did 5 muligans
5 mulls ain't too bad tbh. My policy in a friendly game is to allow 1 mull every 3 holes.
Ashish Patel so 7 mulls
That's ridiculous. How do you expect to get better if you just redo all your bad shots?
Per hole I take it?
@@AshishPatel-jz8tf your name....is.... AWESOME!
From now on I´m gonna follow Andy on the European Tour season.
Incredible. Really enjoyed his reaction, it's refreshingly boisterous which you don't see much from golf.
5:24 That's my new running style.
I'm not sure I was that elated when I watched my first son being born?
His celebration at 5:25 😂😂😂
Andy's reaction will make me happy for many years to come.
Good to know that apart from Poults, we have another pro with a bit of blue for the Dad's! Quality, nice one Andy, great vid
