High schooler sinks two holes-in-one in a single round

Samantha Staudt hit a hole-in-one on the fifth hole of her debut round with her high school's varsity golf team. It was one of those moments she'll remember forever, something she figured she'd never repeat.

So after hitting a clean shot off the 8th hole tee at the Inniscrone Golf Club in Avondale, Pa., Staudt was confused that she didn't see the ball on the green. The thought that she'd hit a second hole-in-one never even crossed her mind, she told Philly.com. Staudt and her opponent, Avon Grove, apparently walked around looking for the ball for a bit before Grove eventually found it in the hole. A second hole-in-one, only eight holes into her varsity career. Both of the holes were par-3s.

The 16-year-old had pulled off something few professional golfers will do in their lifetimes. And when you do that, crazier things are in store. ESPN's Sportscenter soon tweeted about it, and two days later, The Ellen Degeneres Show was on the line.

"I didn't even know what to do," Staudt said. "On the first one, we were going crazy, but I've never heard of anyone having two in one round."

She finished the round at one shot under par.
