News summary

Frank Bensel Jr., a 56-year-old teaching pro, made history by scoring back-to-back holes-in-one during the second round of the U.S. Senior Open at Newport Country Club. This extraordinary feat is the first of its kind in USGA history and has incredibly long odds, estimated at over a million to one. Bensel aced the 173-yard fourth hole and the 202-yard fifth hole, both par-3s, with a 6-iron. Despite this remarkable achievement, he struggled with the rest of his round, finishing with a 4-over 74 and missing the cut for the weekend. The historic moment was celebrated widely, with videos and social media posts capturing Bensel's disbelief and joy.
