It wasn’t an easy third round for Zander Lombard, but it ended with something you really don’t ever see at Carnoustie.

The 23-year-old South African was 2 over for the third round of the British Open on a pristine Saturday when he came to Carnoustie’s monstrous par-4 18th.

A great drive, though, left him a closing approach inside 140 yards. And then, he produced a perfect conclusion to his day…

An eagle at Carnoustie’s 18th? We may not see that again for who knows how long.

Lombard finished with a 71 and is T-12 at 4 under through 54 holes.

A pretty phenomenal week for a guy who entered the tournament having made just four cuts in 20 European Tour starts this season.
