What is an albatross in golf?
An albatross is achieved when a golfer completes a hole in three strokes fewer than the designated par. For example:
- On a par 5 hole, scoring a 2 (which is 3 under par) is considered an albatross.
- On a par 4 hole, scoring a 1 (a hole-in-one) also qualifies as an albatross.
Patrick Reed made only the fourth albatross in US Open history in Thursday’s first round, holing out from the fourth fairway from 286 yards.
The 34-year-old Reed fired his tee shot at the par-five fourth hole some 332 yards to the left side of the fairway.
Reed then blasted his second shot onto the green and into the hole for the first albatross in a major since Nick Watney made one in the first round of the 2012 US Open on the 17th hole at Olympic Club.
The other two times an albatross was made in US Open history were by Taiwan’s T.C. Chen on the second hole of the first round of the 1985 event at Oakland Hills and by American Shaun Micheel in the final round of the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach on the sixth hole.
