Guido Migliozzi's shot-of-the-year contender helps secure Open de France win at Le Golf National

Guido Migliozzi produced one of the greatest shots ever seen at Le Golf National to help him secure a stunning success in the Open de France. The Paris venue has hosted a Ryder Cup and France’s national open since the 1990s. Ad It has witnessed some amazing moments, but few more exhilarating than the shot Migliozzi played on 18 to set up a birdie that took him to 16-under for the tournament.

Cazoo Open de France'I was pretty far down' — Hojgaard recovers from horror start to retain leadYESTERDAY AT 16:06 The Italian stood on the 18th tee, in all likelihood not knowing no birdies had been made on the hole all day. There had been sixes, sevens, eights and a nine. But not one birdie.

The tee shot is daunting, but that is like a walk in the park compared to the second. The approach to the green is all over water to a sliver of a green. With the pin tucked away on the right of the green, to get close requires a big fade for a right-handed player.

As the shot requires starting the ball towards the middle of the lake, it is not one for the faint-hearted. It probably required a confident player. Migliozzi was that man, as he had made eight birdies in the previous 17 holes.

He went for broke, and it paid off as his ball faded perfectly, landed short and left before climbing the hill and grazing the hole. It settled six feet from the hole, and Migliozzi stroked the putt into the middle of the cup for a 62 and a share of the course record. Final Leaderboard 1.
