Frank Bensel accomplished a rare feat at the U.S. Senior Open on Friday by recording back-to-back holes-in-one.

Bensel, 56, aced a pair of par-3 holes in the second round of the tournament in Newport, R.I.

He started with a hole-in-one on the 184-yard fourth hole and repeated the move at the 203-yard fifth.

Bensel has never made a cut in six PGA Tour events, a trend that will likely continue at Newport Country Club.

He started the day at 4 over and followed his aces with back-to-back bogeys. He was tied for 137th approaching the 10th.

The three-time Connecticut Open champion is also a golf coach at Century Country Club in Purchase, N.Y.
