On July 29, 2026, seventeen-year-old Aydin Beharie achieved a feat of astronomical rarity at Highview Golf Course in Powassan. During a birthday tournament , the local athlete recorded two consecutive hole-in-ones on the course's final two holes.
The 98-yard wedge and the 293-yard par-4 miracle
Aydin Beharie's first miracle occurred on the 17th hole, a par-3 measuring just 98 yards from the white tees. Beharie, who carries an eight-handicap rating, utilized a 56-degree wedge to send the ball toward the green, where it landed snugly inside the cup. The unexpected success stunned a small group of players and families gathered at the Highview Golf Course.
Beharie's second ace took place on the 18th hole, a much more difficult par-4 spanning 293 yards. according to the report, he delivered a well-timed drive that rolled across the front of an elevated green before finding the cup. Witnesses Carter Vaillancourt, Loic Shank, and Ryker Laughlin were present to see the improbable sequence unfold.
Defying the one-in-sixty-seven-million PGA probability
The statistical likelihood of Beharie's performance is almost incomprehensible. The Professional Golf Association notes that the probability of a player hitting two standard hole-in-ones in a single round is roughly one in 67 million.. However, as the report highlights, because the second ace occurred on a par-4, the odds are actually a fraction of one in 100 million, placing the event far beyond common experience.
A multi-sport legacy from the North Bay Battalion to Powassan
Aydin Beharie has a proven track record as a high-level athlete in the region. In 2024, he was a hockey prospect for the North Bay Battalion and has since played for the Powassan Voodoos. His competitive drive was also evident when he helped the North Bay U18 AAA Trappers secure a title at the Great North U18 championship.
The uncertainty of official PGA certification
Official recognition of the feat from the Professional Golf Association remains unconfirmed. While Cole Harrington, the manager of the Highview Golf Course pro shop,confirmed the double ace, the report does not mentioon whether video evidence was captured to substantiate the 293-yard par-4 drive. Without such documentation, the feat remains a legendary local moment rather than a globally certified statistic.
