Taylor Pendrith won’t win The Sentry on Sunday, but he will go home with distinction.
Pendrith recorded the first albatross in tournament history at Kapalua, which began hosting the PGA Tour’s season opener in 1999, on Sunday. The long-hitting Canadian holed out from 203 yards at the par-5 fifth hole.
Pendrith’s albatross is the 142nd on Tour since 1983. Five were made last season, most recently Nick Hardy at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
While the deuce moved Pendrith to 20 under, he was still seven shots back of Hideki Matsuyama’s 54-hole score of 27 under.
