Kevin McKoskey of Roseville had never had a hole-in-one on the golf course.

That changed in dramatic style Thursday at University of Minnesota/Les Bolstad Golf Course by recording two holes-in-one in the same round. He aced the 146-yard No. 5 and 139-yard No. 17. He used a 7-iron for both shots.

According to the National Hole-In-One Registry, the odds of making two holes-in-one in the same round for an average golfer are 67 million-to-one.
