The albatross scored by South African golfer Louis Oosthuizen at the US Masters last April has earned him the European Tour’s Shot of the Year award.
The tour says Oosthuizen’s shot received 46 per cent of the voting by golf fans on its website.
The 253-yard, 4-iron pitched at the front of the green before rolling across the contours and in.
Oosthuizen told the website: “It has to be the most memorable shot of my career so far.”
It was the first albatross, three under par, ever scored at the par-5 second hole in Masters history.
The award marks the second success in as many days for the former British Open winner, after clinching the Volvo Golf Champions in Durban on Sunday.
