Rafa Echenique's has landed the European Tour's 2009 Shot of the Year award for his albatross on the final hole of the BMW International Open in Munich.
The Argentinian claimed a two on the 568-yard par-five hole, giving him a 10-under round which almost won him the event.
Echenique said: "I still feel excited when I think about that day. The crowd started to roar and then my caddie said, 'It's in the hole!'.
"I couldn't believe it. It was a great moment in my career."
Echenique finished second in Munich behind Nick Dougherty.
Lee Westwood was runner-up to Echenique for the award, while Rory McIlroy was third.
