Aces are an anomaly, but most players know there’s one result in golf that’s even more rare than a hole-in-one: an albatross.
It’s highly unlikely (the odds are generally accepted as one-in-a-million), but it does happen from time to time when the best players in the world are in action.
Angel Cabrera was the latest to make a big bird, with a beautiful shot on the par-5 7th hole at TPC Wisconsin on Friday during the opening round American Family Insurance Open on the PGA Tour Champions.
Cabrera won back-to-back majors in 2025
Cabrera, 55, is on an absolute tear in 2025, having amassed three PGA Tour Champions wins in the span of just six weeks earlier this year. He won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational in April before taking first in back-to-back events in May at the Regions Tradition and the Senior PGA Championship, respectively.
Cabrera could be in line for yet another victory as he and his team-event partner, Ricardo Gonzalez, are firmly in contention at the American Family Insurance Open.
The two-time major champion has had a long climb back to the spotlight in the golf world since being released from prison in Argentina in 2023. He spent two years behind bars after he was convicted in separate cases of domestic violence and threats against former partners.
