Even rarer than a hole in one, an albatross (or double eagle) is essentially the best score relative to par a golfer can hope to achieve on one hole.
Rafa Cabrera-Bello was playing the par 5 16th hole at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday when he went for the green in two.
Hard to do it better than this:

That’s fantastic.
Of course, after 16 at Sawgrass comes the island 17th, and if you’re wondering whether Cabrera-Bello managed to calm the nerves after his celebration:
Calm.
Cool.

That’s a heck of a finish for Cabrera-Bello. Well done. As to the tournament, South Korea’s Si-Woo Kim went bogey-free over his final 20 holes to win the so-called fifth major:
A career win for Si Woo Kim!
