By Michael Shamburger
The European Tour is all about the hole-in-ones.
This year there have been 41 aces on the Euro Tour, three by Miguel Angel Jimenez alone, setting a new record for that tour. Two of those aces came Saturday during the third round of the KLM Open in Zandvoort, The Netherlands. The record is still three shy of the current PGA Tour record of 44 that was set in 1994.
