Frank Bensel Jr. likely won’t make the cut at this week’s U.S. Senior Open, but he will have a historic takeaway from the tournament.
During the second round of play at Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island, the 56-year-old Bensel Jr. carded back-to-back aces.
Yes, that’s right — consecutive holes-in-one.
Bensel’s first ace came on the 184-yard par-3 fourth hole. He followed that up with another on the 203-yard par-3 fifth hole.

The odds of making a hole-in-one, according to the National Hole-in-One registry, is 12,500-to-1. Consecutive aces? 156,250,000 to 1.
Bensel Jr. shot a 75 on Thursday in the first round and through 10 holes on Friday was one over for the day, even after those two aces.
When Bensel Jr. isn’t hitting aces he’s a golf coach at Century Country Club in Purchase, New York. He has participated in six PGA Tour events in his career, including three PGA Championships and the 2007 U.S. Open.
