Bjerregaard used a six-iron from 206 yards, and his ball never deviated from the flag, taking one hop and then disappearing on the second bounce at Bethpage Black.

Suitably impressed, his playing companion Lucas Glover, the 2009 U.S. Open champion here, also got in on the act by holing a 50-foot bunker shot for birdie at the hole.

The ace helped Bjerregaard to a round of three-over-par 73 as he closed out his PGA Championship debut in style.
