European Tour ace earns Andy Sullivan a trip to outer space

Most weeks in pro golf, a hole-in-one gets a player a car. Andy Sullivan’s Sunday ace at the KLM Open, however, earned him a much more unique prize: a trip to outer space.

Sullivan made a hole-in-one at the par-3 15th hole at Kennemer Golf & Country Club, winning a seat on a future space excursion from sponsor XCOR Space Expeditions. The trip is valued at $ 95,000.

Starting in the second half of 2015, the excursions will take off from a launch pad in the Mojave Desert and going almost 39 miles into space before coming back to Earth.
