Local lad Conor Kelly stuns with his amazing back-to-back scores in US tournament
​Bangkok schoolboy Conor Kelly has stunned the world of golf with one of the most amazing achievements ever seen in the sport.
Playing in an American Junior Golf Association tournament at the Country Club of Halifax (Mass.), 16-year-old Conor hit a hole-in-one, and then followed it up with a double eagle, also known as an albatross (three under par) on the very next hole.
Kelly, who attends Bangkok Patana School, continued this incredible streak by birdying the par-4 10th hole, powering him to a round of five-under 67.
"Is this the greatest feat in the history of golf?!"commented the Golf Association.
The odds of making a hole-in-one are 12,000 to 1 for an average golfer, and around a million to one for an albatross. There is no known figure for making both in the same round, let alone in consecutive holes.
Conor started playing golf eight years, says proud father Jerome Kelly, who runs LawtonAsia Insurance Brokers in Bangkok.

Conor started playing golf eight years, says proud father Jerome Kelly, who runs LawtonAsia Insurance Brokers in Bangkok.
 
“He is quite modest about all of this - he simply enjoys the game and is in the US at the moment as he is trying to get a place on an American university golf team.
 
“Conor has no thoughts about turning pro – he’s more focused on getting to university.”
 
Conor’s sister plays off a six handicap and is currently the women’s champion at Amata Spring Country Club. He is the men’s champion at the course. His Thai mother is another family member with a passion for golf, playing regularly with husband Jerome.
