IT took two mighty swings on a 621-yard hole at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania for Patrick Reed to make history with just the fourth albatross on record at a US Open championship.

As a green jacket winner, Patrick Reed will always be a part of Masters lore. But now, he has a piece of Oakmont history as well. The 2018 Masters champ pulled off the rarest of golf feats on Thursday at the U.

On the par-5 fourth hole, Reed recorded an albatross, also known as a double-eagle, which occurs when a player records a score of three strokes under par on a single hole. It's just the fourth albatross in U.S. Open history at Oakmont Country Club since records began being kept in 1983.

All across Oakmont, there were plenty of tales from the rough. The U.S. Open came to what might be its toughest venue and players faced difficult lies in the 5-inch rough and lots of chances to hack and pray.
