Australian golfer Andrew Dodt became the first player in European Tour history to hit a pair of holes-in-one in a single round when he aced the seventh and 11th holes at the Nordea Masters in Stockholm.

"The shot at the 11th, my second, kick-started things," said Dodt, who was given a box of champagne by the tournament sponsors. "I made a few more birdies in between, then a couple of bogeys and I was heading the wrong way when I got to the seventh, our 16th hole.

Despite the record feat, Dodt was right on the cut line with his second-round 65 after shooting 77 in the opening round Thursday.

"I didn't putt very well today so I'm glad I was able to hole with a long club," he joked.

Matteo Manassero leads the tournament at 13-under following a second-round 65 at the Bro Hof Slott Golf Club. Dodt enters the weekend in a 13-way tie for 62nd at 2-under.
