In golf, three strokes under par is called an eagle

Explanation

Three strokes under par is called an albatross (or double eagle in American usage), following the bird theme of golf scoring: birdie for one under, eagle for two under. There is also the condor, 4 strokes under, which is the rarest performance in golf since only 6 of them have been recorded as of 2026. There is also the unofficial ostrich, 5 under par, which was never achieved.
