Thanks to three bogeys over his first four holes Saturday, Shane Lowry was 2 over through five holes during the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines’ South Course in San Diego, California.
However, his round turned around quickly after a perfect 303-yard drive on the par-5 sixth.
Lowry, with a fairway metal in hand, went for the green in two from 256 yards out.
His ball just cleared the front-left greenside bunker, took a few hops, hit off the flagstick and went in for an albatross!
The mega-bird vaulted him from 2 under for the tournament to 5 under, tied for 31st. It’s the second double eagle on Tour this season (Jake Knapp/Round 2/No. 11/Nicklaus Tournament Course/the American Express).
