Max Homa finished 17th at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and make a quick detour. He was supposed to head home, but went to the Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, Alabama instead!

That’s where Max Homa achieved a major milestone in his career. Homa has never recorded an albatross since turning pro in 2013, but 2021 proved to be lucky. Homa shot an albatross, or a double-eagle, like some people call it, on hole No.11 at Greystone.

It is indeed a massive feat as an albatross is considered sacred in golf. A double-eagle is harder to come by than an ace and it is a one-in-a-million golf shot. Homa used his 3 wood and absolutely nailed the effort.
