Jimenez makes hole-in-one, Espana takes lead at Spanish Open

Miguel Angel Jimenez provided the shot of the day during Round 2 of the European Tour's Spanish Open, but it was Edouard Espana who seized the lead at Real Club de Golf Prat in Barcelona, Spain.

Jimenez, the defending champion, made a hole-in-one at the 160-yard eighth, using a 6-iron to ace the ninth hole of his European Tour career. His prize? That would be 288 bottles of Mahou beer, lessening the price of celebration for the 51-year-old Spaniard.

Here's a look at the shot for Jimenez, who is six shots off the lead at 1 under:

Espana, a 25-year-old European Tour rookie, took the 36-hole lead thanks to a round of 3-under 69 Friday.
