Brian Harman treats media to beers, whiskey after making two holes-in-one

Brian Harman holes-in-one

Brian Harman made history on Sunday by carding two holes-in-one at The Barclays, becoming just the third golfer in PGA Tour history to sink a pair of aces in the same round.

Harman made his first ace on the par-3 third from 184 yards. His second came on the par-3 14th from 220 yards:

The last player to made two holes-in-one in the same round on tour was Japan’s Yusaku Miyazato at the Reno-Tahoe Open in 2006. Prior to that, you’d have to go back to amateur Bill Whedon, who did it in the 1955 Insurance City Open.

Harman was a good sport and stuck to tradition after making his aces. He treated the media to beers and whiskey:

Harman also said he had plans to meet with some friends at a bar in New York later that evening, so he figured the bar tab would get up there. Those numbers aren’t as high as the odds to make two holes-in-one, which is listed at 67 million to one.

Oh, and Harman finished tied for 30th at two under for the tournament. He shot a 68 Sunday, not that that really mattered.
