Because of the undulating nature of the greens, he didn't see either drop in the cup. The crowd let him know the first was an ace.
On No. 12, the gallery was sparse so he was expecting it had hit the pin but bounced away.
"When I went to the green, I was surprised," he said.
Miyazato started the second round tied for 17th at 3-under-par 69, six strokes behind first-round leader Will MacKenzie. His second hole-in-one pushed him to 8-under-par and he finished with a 68 for the day to get to 9-under par 135 for the tournament.
PGA officials had Miyazato sign the two Tour Stage golf balls he used, which they planned to send to the World Golf Hall of Fame in St Augustine, Florida.
Miyazato is playing in the tournament on an international exemption granted by Reno-Tahoe Open officials and was eligible because he won the rookie title in Japan last year.
