Siem hits first Wentworth hole-in-one since 2008 May 27th 2012, 16:30 By Tom Pilcher VIRGINIA WATER | Sun May 27, 2012 12:30pm EDT VIRGINIA WATER (Reuters) - German Marcel Siem hit the first hole-in-one at Wentworth's West Course since 2008, landing his ace with a cool eight-iron from 160 yards on the second hole at the PGA Championship final round on Sunday. Siem, 31, recorded the first ace of the Wentworth tournament and made a rapid rise up the leaderboard, following birdies at the first and fourth holes. However, three bogies in his closing nine holes halted the German's momentum as he chased an unlikely second tour win and a first since 2004. World number two and overnight leader Luke Donald was the last player to record an ace at the second hole, playing in the same tournament in 2006, while Spanish Ryder Cup team mate Miguel Angel Jimenez bagged the last hole-in-one at the longer fifth hole in 2008. Siem finished on five-under-par 283, after posting a three-under 69, pumping his fist in delight at the 18th after beating his best finish of tied-37th at the European Tour's flagship event in 2004.
