Yeah that's crazy that it was for the win! Looks like he won the Junior-Pro by 2 strokes.  If that doesn't hole out he could easily be in the rough, scrambling to try and take it to a playoff.

i prefer the term albatross

nice shot

Not to get OT, but when the hell did "albatross" come into vogue?  Fairly recently.  It was always double eagle back in the day......then someone got the weird idea that it needed it's own unique bird.

To continue the OT, double eagle doesn't make sense. An eagle is -2, a double eagle would be -4. :)

Everybody still says "double eagle" around here. I guess we are just rebels.

i think double eagle is only used in america.

Not sure how definitive this is, but most of what I'm finding tends to support it.....especially the origination of the term "birdie" and subsequently better scores.

http://www.scottishgolfhistory.org/origin-of-golf-terms/bogey/

It seems as if those that coined "birdie", also subsequently used "eagle" and "double eagle".  "Albatross" seems to have come into vogue at some time later.  As an example, every article I can find about Gene Sarazen's "shot heard around the world" at The Masters in 1935 specifically refers to it as a double eagle as well.

I guess I'm just old and crotchety, I'm sticking with double eagle.  No need for this new-fangled, non-traditional terminology.....and yeah, I still refer to my long clubs as "woods" too.   None of this "3-metal"  BS for me! ;-)

I'm with you.  It always was "double eagle" for me growing up as well.

    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
