While a hole-in-one is one of the most exciting shots in golf, an albatross might be even more exciting.
Expect the casual golf fan might not even know what it is.
What Is an Albatross in Golf?
In golf, an albatross is a rare feat that occurs when a player completes a hole in three strokes under par, also called a double eagle.
This typically happens on a par-5 when a player holes out their second shot for a two.
Last Albatross on PGA Tour
The last albatross on the PGA Tour was by Robby Shelton. It occurred in the final round of the Valspar Championship when he made a two on the par-5 14th hole.
