A golfer named Blade Kurilich astonished the golfing world with his remarkable performance in a regular match with the crew at Sterling Grove Golf & Country Club in the Phoenix suburb of Surprise Arizona. Earlier this week, Kurilich carded two aces in a regular tournament.

His first hole-in-one came on the third hole and four holes before carding another ace on the seventh. Hole-in-one is pretty common in golf matches. However, two in a single round is very rare.

According to the National Hole-in-one Registry, the odds of a player making an ace in 12000 to 1 and two aces in a round are 67 million to 1. Blade Kurilich amazed people with his incredible performance.

The golfer played with a 9-iron to card two aces. Speaking about his golf gear, Kurilich said via USA Today Sports:

"That club will be getting framed once I get a new set. I hit just a stock 9-iron and actually dunked it straight in the hole on the fly. I didn’t know it at the time but heard the pin rattle from the tee box. When I got up there I saw where the ball actually took a chunk out of the cup before I saw the ball in the hole.”

Blade Kurilich is a former basketball player who is now exploring his career in the golf industry. He worked in Denver in the finance department but recently shifted to Scottdale with his fiance to pursue his career in golf.

It is pertinent to note that Kurilich has never scored a hole-in-one before adding two this week.
