Frank Bensel makes hole-in-one on back-to-back shots at the U.S. Senior Open

Frank Bensel turned up a pair of aces — on back-to-back holes — in the second round of the U.S. Senior Open at the Newport Country Club on Friday. Bensel aced the 184-yard fourth hole and then followed it up with another hole-in-one on the 203-yard fifth. While consecutive holes-in-one are exceedingly rare, it’s also unusual for a course to have par-3’s on two straight holes, like the setup at the 7,024-yard, par-70 Newport Country Club this week.
