Career
Born in Wokingham, Berkshire, he turned professional in 1964, and was a European Tour member in 1971, 1974, and 1976. Teeing off, using a 4-iron, at the par-three, 195-yard 11th hole, Hudson holed his tee shot for a hole-in-one. At the next hole, the downhill 311-yard, par-four 12th, and this time using a driver, he once again holed his tee shot, for another ace.
This is believed to be the only time a player has scored holes-in-one at consecutive holes in a major professional tournament.
Hudson eventually finished tied for ninth place in this tournament, and earned the princely sum of £160, out of a total prize fund of £7,000, for his efforts. Hudson played on the European Seniors Tour from 1995 to 2000, and is now the professional at Rivenhall Oaks Golf Centre in Witham, Essex.
