Longtime club pro makes BACK-TO-BACK holes-in-one(!) at U.S. Senior Open

First things first, we had to double check that this wasn’t April Fool’s Day. Because that’s how ridiculous the feat Frank Bensel pulled off on Friday at the U.S. Senior Open is.

But no, it’s June 28. And it’s real. Frank Bensel really just made back-to-back (!) holes-in-one (!!). At the U.S. Senior Open.

We could cover golf for the rest of time and probably not see this accomplishment topped. Sure, there have been back-to-back aces before—even, supposedly, on a pair of par 4s—but in competition? That’s unheard of.

But the USGA confirmed as much on Friday morning. Take a look at this scorecard that shows 1s on both the 184-yard fourth and 203-yard fifth at Newport Country Club:

Insane stuff. And here’s a video of Frank, a longtime club pro at Century Country Club, plucking his golf ball out of the hole:

On one of the holes, that is. Again, the guy has TWO aces in his round already.

Amazing stuff. Congrats, Frank. But that bar tab at Newport Country Club on Friday night is going to be pretty steep!
