Dale Whitnell never divided the ace in an approved event before Friday morning. He then made two of the spans of 10 holes.

It’s been a historic week on a professional golf course.
On Thursday morning, Jake Knapp became the 15th ever player to break 60 points, shooting 59 from the field on Cognizant Clasic’s opening day. Dale Whitnell became the fourth player in golf history on Friday morning, winning two ACEs in a round.
Yes, Dale Whitnell waited 153 careers before he won his first ace in his professional golf career. But he waited for less than 12 holes before the second time.
Whitnell won the ace on 2-stroke 3 at the South African Open Championship on Friday morning, hitting 178 yards along the hill – ending about 153 pros, while 460 pros played 460 pros without the match. The monkey is not on his back, it’s time to celebrate.
“It’s very annoying,” he later said in a course interview with the DP World Tour. “I don’t [had] It’s been a few years. The first one is on the second hole, one with 3, 178 7, directly towards the flag and then enter. ”
But then, when Whitnell turned back nine, he faced a T-shirt, on another even-numbered, catchable 3, 12th hole, a 128 yard. He held a 58-degree wedge in his hand, causing him to say another “strong swing” on the ball, watching it rush out of the hole, popping out of the air and pulling back into the bouncing hole.
“I’m still playing, so adrenaline is still going on,” he said. “Love it. Five or three are a good start. Eight people so far today are very stable today.”
Whitnell is getting more comfortable from near the tangent to the top ten in the game on Friday with a 63-shot below 63. He will be in South Africa two days ahead of schedule to improve the rankings, but even if the weekend ends with a victory, there is no doubt that this week’s story will always start with Friday’s round, and a pair of Aces’ victory.
