Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa holed his second shot on the par-five second hole for an albatross in the final round of the Masters on Sunday.
It was just the fourth albatross, or double-eagle, in Masters history and the first time it had been achieved at the second hole.
Oosthuizen sank a four-iron from 253 yards out at the 575-yard long hole. It moved him from seven under to 10 under for the tournament.
The only prior albatrosses record at Augusta National came from Jeff Maggert on the 13th hole in the 1994 final round, Bruce Devlin at the eighth in 1967’s first round and Gene Sarazen in the final round of the second Masters in 1935.
The three-stroke pickup hoisted the 2010 British Open champion into a two-stroke lead in the tournament at that stage.
