Two Northsiders holed out eagles on a par four from 70 yards on back-to-back swings on hole six at Patrick Farms golf course Saturday. An AI search said there is no record of this happening in the history of pro golf.

However, there is at least one instance of two pro players in the same group hitting their third shots in the hole for eagles on a par five. It was unclear if these shots were back to back.
AI said this has probably happened before but never officially recorded. The odds are one in two-four million.
Sun publisher Wyatt Emmerich shot first but was unable to see the ball go in the hole from his blind vantage point. Fellow golfer Marc Rolph, who was preparing to chip near the green, ran ecstatically toward the others in the fivesome, which included Jeff Good and David Dear, shouting that Emmerich had holed out.
Emmerich smiled broadly, especially since the hole was a six-skin carryover. Adding the bonus three skins for an eagle, Emmerich assumed he had just one nine skins on one hole.
Mike Prince said, “hold on, the hole’s not over yet” and proceeded to knock his approach shot in the same hole. Rolph ran down yet again from the green jumping up and down and shouting “Mike holed out too!”
No one in the fivesome could recall hearing of this happening despite many years of watching pro golf. What was especially significant is that Prince swang immediately after Emmerich, so the eagles were truly back to back. Plus Prince’s eagle “pushed” the hole, meaning neither eagle resulted in a skin. They cancelled each other out.
Emmerich said, “This is just the spiritual boost I needed. It’s like God reminding me, ‘I’m here and I got your back.'”
