Patrick Reed achieved a remarkable double-eagle on the par-5 fourth hole at Oakmont during the U.S. Open, only the fourth such occurrence in event history since records began in 1983. This rare albatross, made with a second shot from 286 yards, is a significant feat as such shots are exceedingly scarce in golf. Reed's visual reaction reflected his shock and surprise as he raised his palm in uncertainty, only to be assured by the crowd's applause that his ball had indeed gone in, joining a select group of players who have accomplished this rare achievement.
Reed made only the fourth double-eagle since the U.S. Open started keeping records some four decades ago, dunking in his second shot from 286 yards.
After hitting a fairway wood onto the green, Reed raised his palm to the sky, then pointed downward, asking if it went in, as the applause confirmed it.
