Tommy Britt made the rarest of golf shots at Pinecrest Country Club on Tuesday, scoring a double-eagle on the 529-yard par 5 No. 11. Longtime club members could remember only one other double-eagle being made on No. 11.

Britt, playing with Ryan Bass, Carlton Dial, James Smith and Truman Lowery, holed out a 5-iron second shot on the hole from 188 yards that followed a long tee shot.

“I killed it,” said Britt of the tee shot.
