Would you rather start or end a round with an eagle? Through two days at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, Eugenio Chacarra doesn’t have to choose because he’s already done both. Must be nice.
Taylor Pendrith made a remarkable albatross (2) on the 520-yard par-5 fifth at Kapalua Plantation. The bad news was NBC’s film crew wasn’t fully set up when he came to No. 5. Watch the poor quality footage of a great golf shot here.
During a particularly windy day, Braxton Floyd was able to find the putting surface with his drive on a 466-metre (510-yard) par 5. And with a camera rolling, he rolled in his putt.
The shot of one golfer’s life turned into the highlight-reel of his life thanks to some fortunate timing. Look, you need a little luck to make an albatross, but to make one while cameras happen to be rolling? Well, that’s a belated St. Patrick’s Day miracle.
