Dale Whitnell Achieves Rare Two Holes-in-One at South African Open
Dale Whitnell achieved a remarkable feat at the South African Open by making two holes-in-one during the same round, a rarity with odds of 67 million to one. Competing at the Durban Country Club, the 36-year-old Englishman aced the par-3 second and 12th holes while carding a stunning 9-under 63, which significantly improved his chances of making the cut after a lackluster opening round. Whitnell, who had never previously recorded a hole-in-one in tournament play, expressed his excitement over the achievement, highlighting the warm reception from spectators when his first ace went in. His performance not only marks a personal milestone but also positions him as the second Englishman in history to accomplish this feat, following John Hudson from 1971. While Whitnell sits five shots behind the tournament leader Shaun Norris, his remarkable day showcased a mix of skill and luck, including multiple birdies and a few setbacks. This round could potentially elevate his status on the European Tour and attract further sponsorship opportunities.
