Golf-Albatross lifts Knox within one shot of early Valspar lead
An albatross from 275 yards helped vault Russell Knox within one stroke of the clubhouse lead during the first round at the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida on Thursday. After a 300-yard drive, Knox used a three-wood for his rare feat at the par-five 11th hole at Innisbrook Resort and his ball trickled into the hole at perfect speed. "It was a good way to go from plus two to minus one very quickly," the Scot told PGA Tour radio after carding a four-under-par 67.
