Scott Hend albatross from 575 yards

235 yard 2 iron hybrid approach over water, lands super soft. So 340 yard drive, 235 hybrid that lands like a wedge. Come on.

He probably saved about 2.32 strokes versus the field with that shot. 

That didn't look like a 2-iron. That looked like a 5-wood.

My memory is fuzzy but I think I saw him on the practice range once. He was hitting these low stingers, which is typical you'd think, but they just kept going and going. If I'm looking it up correctly, he's 43 years old.

Two slammin' shots for sure.

You are correct. Didn't expand my screen, but the noise coming off the ball should have been obvious.

Not true. He made up some of the shots with the tee shot.

To be fair, the drive was only about 310 yards - so quite easy to achieve ;) I just checked it on google maps :D Nevertheless, a great second shot. Love how he didn't even see or realize that he just holed out ;)

Initially I just thought he was being super cool - 'that's what I was aiming at'

Thanks for checking, I stand corrected.

I agree on the wood instead of hybrid. That club head looked awfully large for a hybrid.
