Golf ace beats odds of 670,000,000-1 to get 2 holes in 1 on a single round..but is left miffed at missed record.
THE 26-year-old golf ace defied astronomical odds to bag the double in one round.
But he wasn’t satisfied and revealed his frustration at failing by one shot to match his own course record.
Ewan, 26, whose handicap is plus one, hit his double on Saturday at Corrie Golf Club, Arran, in the Whisky Cup.
First he struck an ace at the 124-yard fifth hole. Then pals Jimmy McConnachie and Ray Jefferies watched him repeat it at the eighth.
Ewan, a mountain rescuer, finished the first nine in 25, six under, and the round eight under on 54. He said: “It started with a two and things just got better.
“The only frustration was failing to keep up the momentum, which meant I was one short of equalling my record round.”
But he was amazed when a web search revealed the odds for a round. “It didn’t have a price for nine holes, but it must be astronomical,” he said.
The course he was playing was a nine hole short course with five par threes, but he still aced two par threes in a row.
