The former Otago golfer achieved just that when going through his practice round for the Arrowhead Pro-Am in the United States last week.
He teed up on the third hole and struck an ace. It was perfect timing - almost. If he had hit the hole in one the following day, he would have pocketed a $10,000 bonus.
It was a case of deja vu for the 25-year-old, who last year struck a hole in one on the 17th hole at the same course, in his practice round.
Fellow professional Nick Bisogno followed Campbell's feat by nailing a hole in one in this year's tournament, on the third hole, and winning the $10,000 bonus.
Campbell told the Rapid City Journal it was slightly frustrating to get two holes in one and not receive anything for it.
He added it was "really just one shot, and you have to stay patient and they will come".
Campbell is in his first year competing as a professional golfer, after spending four years at the University of Minnesota completing a masters degree in kinesiology.
His father, Tom Campbell, said from his Dunedin home his son was "absolutely loving" his first year as a professional and he wanted to do his best and see how far he could go.
Campbell senior said he and his wife, Diane, gave their son some financial support and he also had a sponsor within his local Spring Hill club in Minnesota, who helped him out with golfing equipment.
He said Thomas was determined to play for the next four years and decide on his future after that. He added his son had a degree to fall back on if he needed to.
Of the holes in one, Tom Campbell said his son had an uncanny ability to land those.
He got his first hole in one on Chisholm Park as an 11-year-old, after only four months of playing, and another when he was 15.
Campbell senior said his son's first hole in one was the one that really got him interested in golf and he never looked back from there.
Campbell's best result as a professional was at the Minnesota Open earlier in the year.
While he placed first with three others, there was no playoff hole and because an amateur was involved in the three-way tie, all had to share the prize money.
