It was barely caught on camera, but history was made early in the final round at Kapalua. 

Taylor Pendrith recorded the Sentry’s first albatross in the tournament’s 27-year history, holing out from 203 yards on the par-5 5th. 

The 33-year-old Canadian, in the field by virtue of his victory at last year’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson, started the final round T18, 11 strokes behind 54-hole leader Hideki Matsuyama. Therefore, coverage on NBC hadn’t yet begun; however, one camera on the hole thankfully caught Pendrith’s shot. 

The double eagle only moved Pendrith seven strokes back of the lead. But even without a victory, the world’s 48th-ranked player will leave Maui with a historic feat.
