On Sunday during his final round at TPC Sawgrass for The Player’s Championship, Brooks Koepka pulled off a feat that’s rarely seen in professional golf. Following a strong tee shot, he one-hopped his second shot straight into the cup on No. 16 for an albatross.
Here’s a clip of the incredible shot.

With this albatross, Koepka became just the second person in history to log an albatross on the 16th hole at TPC Sawgrass. The remarkable shot was a 208-yard six-iron that was as perfect as you’ll ever see.
Then on 17, Koepka knocked in a birdie to move into third place behind Webb Simpson and Danny Lee. That birdie closed out a four-hole stretch in which, thanks in part to the albatross, Koepka went five-under par.
He finished his tournament at 11-under par after making par at No. 18 and fell just one shot shy of setting a new course record at TPC Sawgrass with a final-round 63.
