Andy Sullivan’s ace is, quite literally, out of this world.

English golfer Andy Sullivan is heading into space after hitting a hole-in-one during the final round of the KLM Open today.

The ace, which came in the 15th round, sees the 216th-ranked played head for the great beyond thanks to sponsors XCOR Space Expeditions.

“With this prize we wish to create awareness among the public that space is now also accessible for everyone,” said Michiel Mol, the CEO of XCOR Space Expeditions, before the tournament.

“Journeys into space can be made starting from the end of 2015. We already have 300 bookings.”
