The Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy is seen on display during the 2023 U.S. Senior Open media day on Monday, May 15, 2023, at SentryWorld in Stevens Point. SentryWorld will host the tournament from June 29 to July 2. 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.
