VIDEO: Miguel Angel Jimenez's Thailand eagle and ensuing dance

It was another good day for Miguel Angel Jimenez on Thursday.

Playing in the inaugural True Thailand Classic, Jimenez holed out his second shot on the 474-yard, par-4 ninth at Black Mountain G.C. Of course, Jimenez went into a delightful celebration, including a Chi-Chi Rodriguez-inspired, club-as-a-sword dance. Then he did a little two-step shimmy.

Jimenez shot 5-under 67 in the opening round to trail leader Michael Hoey by three shots.

This is the second big hole out for Jimenez early in 2015. In the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, Jimenez made a hole-in-one accompanied by another dancing celebration.
