WATCH: Cristobal Del Solar misses a hole-in-one by meagre centimeters at Mexico Open

On Sunday, February 25, Cristobal Del Solar wrapped up his campaign at the 2024 Mexico Open at Vidanta with an impressive score of 5 under par. During the final round, the Chilean came incredibly close to scoring a hole-in-one, missing by mere centimeters.

The play occurred on the 185-yard par 3 5th hole and was broadcast live on the television. The video was posted by the PGA Tour on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, where it has already garnered more than 116,000 views.

Cristobal Del Solar went directly for the green with an iron stroke, looking for a shot with a lot of height and rotation. His execution was of such quality that the ball landed less than 10 feet from the flag and seemed to be rolling directly into the hole.

However, it was deflected at the last moment and stopped less than two centimeters from the edge of the cup. Finally, Cristobal Del Solar made his first birdie of the round and also the first of a streak of three in a row.

Del Solar made headlines in the golf world two weeks ago when he scored 57 in a round at the Korn Ferry Tour's Astara Golf Championship. With that, he set the record for the lowest score for a round in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament.

The Chilean's 57 also matched the world record for a round of golf. The same score had previously been achieved by Ireland's David Carey at the 2019 Cervino Open of the Alps Tour.
