Club pro makes history at US Senior Open with consecutive holes-in-one: 'I just couldn’t believe it'

Frank Bensel Jr., a club pro from New York, made history Friday when he made consecutive holes-in-one at the U.S. Senior Open, the first ever recorded in the United States Golf Association’s history. 

Bensel, 56, described the moment as an "out-of-body experience," and the numbers support that feeling. 

According to the National Hole-in-One Registry, the odds for one player making two aces in the same round are 67 million to 1.

"I’ve played a lot of golf in my life, and just to see a hole-in-one in a tournament is pretty rare," Bensel said after the second round of the tournament in Newport, Rhode Island. "The first one was great; that got me under par for the day. And then the second one, I just couldn’t believe it. To even think that that could happen was amazing."

Bensel’s amazing feat began on the fourth hole, a 184-yard par 3. He did the unthinkable next when he aced his next shot, a 203-yard par 3.

"After these two holes-in-one, I just didn’t even know," Bensel, who splits his time between New York and Florida, said. "Oh, yeah. Everybody is going to want a lesson now, for sure — on a 6-iron."

Despite his back-to-back aces, the day did not turn out well for Bensel. Immediately after, he made four bogeys in a row and added three more on the back nine. He finished the day at 4-over 74 and missed the cut. 

"I didn’t do anything great except for kind of those shots today," he said. "I was hoping that I could have added a lot more good scoring after that to have made the cut, but that didn’t happen."

Despite an overall lackluster day, Bensel’s performance still landed him in the USGA history books.

Gold Star family speaks out after Biden falsely claims no troops have died on his watch: 'Shame on you'

President Biden is facing criticism from Gold Star families after falsely claiming during Thursday's CNN Presidential Debate that he's the "only president this century, this decade, that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world."

Biden, after denying that 13 American service members were lost in Afghanistan, also said during the debate that "when he [Trump] was president, they were still killing people in Afghanistan. And he didn't do anything about that."

Darin Hoover, Gold Star father of Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover who was one of those 13 American service members killed in action on August 26, 2021, in Kabul, Afghanistan, had a strong reaction to Biden's debate claims.

The younger Hoover, 31, was engaged to be married when he was killed. It was his third tour in Afghanistan.

VOTERS REACT AFTER BIDEN FALSELY CLAIMED THAT NO TROOPS HAD DIED UNDER HIS WATCH

"I knew Afghanistan was going to come up sooner or later," said Hoover in an interview with Fox News Digital, recalling the debate. 

"You know, the stumbling, bumbling buffoon that we have in the White House had the audacity to say that under his watch that no military members have died."

The Gold Star dad added, "the rage, the absolute disgust that I got, from hearing him say that--I started yelling back at the TV. Just out of frustration. He's never acknowledged, not one time, any of our kids. He's never said their names. Even to this day, I doubt very seriously that he even knows their names."

Taylor's mother, Kelly Barnett, had this to say to Biden: "What I would say to them is shame on you using our children as a pawn. It just makes me sick."

"It's sickening, but it goes to the way that we've been treated the past three years. It's three years--we're going on three years now. And it's just disrespect after disrespect. This is probably the cherry on top."

Hoover said the Biden administration sent the 13 Afghanistan Gold Star families letters – a year later. 

"All the 13 families get a canned letter. It said the same exact same thing. And it looked like it was a photocopy of all of that. It was basically, we're sorry that your service member had died, and that's been it. We've had absolutely nothing before, nothing since," Hoover added. 

Hoover has made efforts to meet with Biden on behalf of the 13 lost on August 26, 2021. He said, "as much as we tried it in the past, when we've been going before Congress to try and get a meeting, it's been denied because he's a chicken."

"[Biden] doesn't want to deal with us. He knows that we're in his face, but he doesn't want to deal with us," said Hoover.

According to the St. Charles County Veterans Museum in Missouri, Hoover was bestowed awards including the Purple Heart and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal after 11 years of service to the Marine Corps.

The Biden administration did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
