North Dakota golfer sinks 2 aces in 1 round
September 28, 2009
FARGO, N.D. (AP)—A golfer in North Dakota achieved the nearly unthinkable—sinking two holes-in-one in the same round.
Troy Radermacher of Ellendale, N.D., used a pitching wedge Sunday to ace the116-yard 15th hole at Oxbow Country Club. The ball found the cup again on the135-yard fifth hole.
The Forum newspaper says Radermacher was golfing with family and friends. Hesays he has had a hard time believing what he did.
Golf Digest calculates the odds of two holes-in-one in the same round at 67million to one.
But he’s got company. Ruth Day, a 64-year-old retiree from northern England,shot two holes-in-one in the same round on Sept. 9. The next day, formerPittsburgh Pirates pitcher Steve Blass did the same in a span of 11 holes inPennsylvania.
