Sentosa, Singapore, February 26: Most golfers wait years to get a hole-in-one, American Austen Truslow on the other hand managed his second ace in a span of two months at the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday.

The talented 23-year-old announced his arrival in Asia in dramatic style when he captured a career-first ace in December en route to topping the class at the Asian Tour Qualifying School.

Entering the final round in 36th position, the Florida native knew he had much work cut out to finish inside the top-10 and earn a spot to this week’s Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens on the PGA TOUR.

The American traded four birdies against one bogey in the front nine to make the turn in 33. Truslow then recovered with a birdie on hole 10 before dropping the second shot of the day on hole 14.

“At that point I told myself that I needed a miracle on the last four holes so that I can get into the Honda Classic,” said the American.

Standing tall in the midst of pressure, the American safely made par on hole 15 before conjuring the same magic he did at Qualifying School to make a stellar ace on hole 16 with his eight-iron from 202 yards.

“That was unbelievable. After that I was just more relaxed and just kept hitting shots. I hit two great shots on 17 and had 10-feet for birdie, but I just missed the putt on the high side,” added Truslow, who ended his campaign with a six-under-par 66 after a par on 17 and another birdie on 18.

Playing his fifth week in a row since earning his card in Thailand, Truslow will have to shrug off his fatigue as he prepares for the Honda Classic that gets underway this Thursday.

“Right now, I’m actually not as pumped up as I normally would be. This will be my fifth straight week competing and I’ve been in a different time zone every week. I’m sure it’ll change when I get to Palm Beach,” added Truslow.
