North Texas has its fair share of spectacular athletes, so why not add one more to the list?

During his 3-under round of 69 at Forest Creek Golf Club in Round Rock, Coody shot TWO hole-in-ones in n a single round!
Coody's first hole-in-one came at the par-3 17th, his eighth hole of the day after starting on the back 9.
He told GolfChannel.com he had flown a shot from a similar length the hole before 30 feet over the green due to windy conditions, so he knew what to expect this time around. He said, "The angle was pretty much the same, so I thought just hit it a touch softer and judge the wind right. It lands a foot from the hole and goes in. I was pretty excited about that one."
His second ace of the day, which occurred at the par-3 8th, Coody said, "I just hit a good 7-iron, started it a little bit out right and let the wind just bring it in, and before I know it, it disappears. That was complete shock when it happened."
Coody is now just one step away from qualifying for the U.S. Open, which would be his first major.
Coody, along with his twin brother Pierceson, who is also an incredibly golfer, are 2018 graduates of Plano West, and are the grandsons of 1971 Masters champion Charles Coody.
Parker is currently No. 94 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, and Pierceson is No. 3, having reached the No. 1 spot earlier last year.
