WATCH: Patrick Reed holes insane 287-yard albatross at the US Open 2025

LIV Golf star Patrick Reed is in the field for the 2025 US Open at Oakmont Country Club. During his first round, he shot a phenomenal albatross at Oakmont’s fourth hole.

Reed has won nine events on the PGA Tour and three on the European Tour. His maiden PGA Tour victory was in the 2013 Wyndham Championship, and his most recent win was the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open. He also won the 2024 Link Hong Kong Open on the Asian Tour.

On day one at the 2025 US Open, Patrick Reed’s second shot on the 621-yard par-5 fourth hole sent the ball flying into the air and into the hole. At first, he was unaware that the ball had gone into the hole. Upon hearing the cheers from spectators, he inquired and realized that he had shot an albatross. He then smiled and held two fingers up, signifying that he put the ball in the hole with two shots.
