An ordinary round of golf turned into an extraordinary masterclass as an English amateur defied astronomical odds to card eight birdies across just nine holes.
Allan Harrison started his round at Fairhaven Golf Club with four dropped shots down the front nine before a "pasty and a drink" at the halfway house gave him a burst of life.
The 64-year-old then fired seven consecutive birdies and eight in nine holes - a run of form rarely seen in professional golf, let alone at an amateur level.
Harrison has some prowess as a former foursomes partner of Tommy Fleetwood at Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club.
England Golf calculated the odds across all golfers for making eight birdies in nine holes as an astonishing one in 322 billion.
