Reed Achieves a Rare Feat

On June 12, 2025, Patrick Reed became the author of the fourth albatross at the US Open since statistics began being recorded in 1983. He amazed spectators when his second shot from 286 yards found the hole on the par-5 fourth hole.

Details of the Shot

Reed used a 3-wood, and the ball rolled into the hole after three bounces. This shot, known as an albatross, is one of the rarest in golf, with only a few hundred such shots made each year, while the number of hole-in-ones exceeds 30,000.

Reed's Reaction

After the shot, Reed was astonished, raising his arms to the sky and asking if the ball had gone in the hole. The applause from the spectators on the green confirmed his success.

History of Albatrosses at the US Open

Patrick Reed joined players such as T.C. Chen in 1985, Shawn Micheel in 2010, and Nick Watney in 2012, who also made an albatross at the US Open. According to Reed, he remembers his best albatross, which he made at a tournament in Germany when his wife encouraged him to attack the final par-5s.

Final Round

Despite the successful shot, Reed finished the round with a score of 3-over-par 73, concluding it with a triple bogey on the last hole.
