CLUB professional Frank Bensel Jr. amazingly made back-to-back holes-in-one during the second round of the US Senior Open.
USGA organisers posted an image of Bensel’s scorecard on social media which showed an ace on the 184-yard fourth hole and another on the 203-yard fifth at Newport Country Club.
Frank Bensel, Jr. managed back-to-back hole-in-ones at the US Senior Open
It is a 156million-to-one feat
According to the National Hole-in-One Registry, the odds of carding two aces in the same round are 67million to one.
And the odds of getting two back-to-back are allegedly 156million to one.
No video was initially shown of either shot but the USGA followed up with a post showing Bensel, the long-time professional at Century Country Club in Purchase, New York, picking the ball out of one of the holes.
It is thought that the only other instance of a player making consecutive holes-in-one during a tournament occurred in even more remarkable circumstances during the 1971 Martini International at Royal Norwich.
John Hudson followed a hole-in-one at the 195-yard 11th with another ace at the par-four 12th, which measured 314 yards.
Hudson went on to finish tied ninth and earned £160 from the tournament’s total prize fund of £7,000.
Bensel, 56, has played in six PGA Tour events and never made a cut.
He ended his second round with eight bogeys and shot nine-over par over the two.
