Anyone who picks up a golf club dreams of making a hole in one so to see a professional player make two in the same round stings just as much as it impresses.

But that’s what golf fans got to witness on the DP World Tour, as the English golfer Dale Whitnell managed to card two aces in the same round at the South African Open.

Whitnell achieved the feat at Durban Golf Course be holing out on the par three second from 179 yards, before repeating the effort on the 12th, a par three 149 yard effort.

As we all know, hitting a hole in one is a rare feat in itself. But to get two in the same round is even rarer and has only been managed by another three players in history.

The four golfers to have made two hole in ones in the same round

With odds of around 67 million-to-one, it’s certainly a rare occasion to see two aces on the same round by the same player.

However, while Whitnell has his name in the history books, he’s not the first player to do it.

In fact, another three players have managed the feat, including current PGA Tour player and previous winner of The Open, Brian Harman.

How four golfers made double aces in professional golf events

Prior to Whitwell’s effort in South Africa, the last man to achieve two in a round was Brian Harman.

The American nailed aces at 2015 FedEx St Jude Championship, holing out on the third and fourteenth holes to put his own name up in lights.

Before Harman came Japanese star Yusaku Miyazato, who managed to make two aces at the PGA Tour’s Reno-Tahoe Open back in 2006. Miyazato has the extra boast of one of his aces being a 220 yard par three, with the other being an effort from 186 yards at Montreux Golf and Country Club.

Finally, the man to kick it all off was way back in 1955, when Bill Whedon managed the feat at The Insurance City Open.

Remarkably, Whedon was an amateur in the event and even more astounding was that his two aces counted for nothing in round one as he finished up near the very bottom of the leaderboard.

Whitnell, meanwhile, will be hoping for a much better outcome and given he’s in contention at nine under par, there’s every chance he gets in the mix.
