Coming into the 2025 U.S. Open, much of the conversation centered around the difficulty of Oakmont Country Club. On Thursday, despite some solid scoring early, we saw just how difficult Oakmont would be as the average score in the early wave was more than 5 over par despite the best conditions players will see all week.

On Thursday, June 12, 2025, Patrick Reed etched his name into golf history by scoring an albatross... The post WATCH: Patrick Reed Sinks Albatross at Oakmont first appeared on easySportz.

Playing his fourth hole during the opening round of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, Reed hit a 3-wood from 286 yards on the par-5 second hole. His ball landed at the front of the green and took a couple of hops before releasing, and it never left the cup. The ball rolled into the hole, and voila, it was an albatross for Reed.
