Christopher Meyers stood in the fairway at Pebble Beach’s iconic par-5 18th hole, needing to get up-and-down for eagle to win the pro-junior competition at the Nature Valley First Tee Open.
With partner Lee Janzen looking on, Meyers struck a 4-iron from 204 yards. After a couple of hops, Meyers’ second shot found the bottom of the cup for a walk-off, tournament-winning albatross (or double eagle, if you so wish). According to Pebble Beach officials, this is the first time an albatross has been made in a tournament at the last hole.
What makes the outcome even more amazing is that Meyers’ tee shot nearly went into the Pacific Ocean, caroming off the rocks separating the golf course and water.
