In golf, what single-word bird name is used for a score of three strokes under par on one hole?
Show answer
Albatross
An albatross is one of the rarest achievements in golf, typically occurring when a player finishes a par-five hole in just two strokes. The name follows the sport's avian scoring theme, representing a bird even more impressive and rare than an eagle. Statistically, a professional golfer is significantly more likely to hit a hole-in-one than to card an albatross.
