The Chilean golfer hit a shot that goes around the world due to its complexity and how little it is seen in tournaments. He got the ball in three shots less than expected and 273 yards out.
Mito Pereira impressed everyone. With his albatross on the 7th hole of the final round of The Memorial, the Chilean broke a series of records that dated back years and approached the top 20 of the event which takes place in Ohio. The move gave a lot to say, but what is this complex game about?
We know, and in Chile we have understood it more in recent months, that golf is a sport full of very specific concepts. Birds , Eagle Albatross and Condor are the ones used to explain when a player has reached the hole in fewer strokes than expected.
These terms, curious to be related to birds, are the ones that generate the results called low par. Everyone has a different, growing relationship. Birds the one under pair is used and thence up to each “bird”. The -2 is Eagle -3 will be albatross and -4, condor.
In this way, what Mito Pereira achieved this Sunday was to return the ball with three shots less than expected, and he did it from no less than 273 meters. Also called “double eagle”, the albatross is one of the least seen shots in golf, given its complexity.
For a golfer to achieve an albatross, there are two main options. You have to hole-in-one on a par 4 or you can do it in two shots on a par 5. The latter was what the national golfer achieved. A launch that goes around the world and that, without a doubt, is already among the best of the year.
