On this Blog golf has always had a special place because it sets individuals up for unique success that's harder on a team sport. Even better when you can find accomplishment in a unique place like the United States Senior Open. And holes in one. Two of them. In a row. Completely unfathomable. But Frank Bensel Jr. did it. The 56-year-old holed the 184 par three fourth, then 203 par three fifth. In two shots. That's like mini golf style (except I could not even do that). He was not in contention for the championship but still. It's 6-million-to-one two aces in a round. Of course having two Par 3's in a row isn't normal but to ace them is just as rare. And they guy is a Club Pro, not like Steve Stricker or Vijay Singh, who has played in fewer than ten tournaments. All the elements of what we love about being the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
