Johnson Wagner makes rare albatross at Wyndham Championship
Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports
Johnson Wagner began his round Friday at the Wyndham Championship carding four straight pars, but then trimmed three strokes with one swing of the club.
Johnson split the par-5 fifth fairway with his drive, then holed his second for a rare albatross - or double eagle on the PGA Tour - moving him to 6-under for the tournament.
🚨 ALBATROSS! 🚨

According to the PGA Tour Media, Wagner also accomplished the feat in the first round of the 2010 Sanderson Championship. The 37-year-old finished with three birdies, two bogeys, and an eagle for a round of 64.
Johnson Wagner becomes first player since @DanielBerger59 @APinv in 2015 with an albatross and eagle in same round. #pgatour
