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.

Patrick Reed made only the fourth double eagle since the U.S. Open started keeping records some four decades ago.
