Nguyen Nhat Long made a miracle rarer than scoring HIO

TPO - 2023 National Golf Champion Nguyen Nhat Long scored an albatross at Trang An Golf & Resort, an achievement that appears with rare probability in the global golf world.

Nguyen Nhat Long scored an albatross (shot 3 strokes under par) on the par-5 second hole at Champion Course at Trang An Golf & Resort, right before the Trang An Open 2025.

The 585-yard par-5 second hole is a challenge even for the most experienced golfers. But Nguyen Nhat Long turned it into a moment of glory.

After a steady tee shot, Nhat Long faced his second shot from 185 yards away. With a 6-iron in hand and with confidence and determination, he hit the shot with a perfect trajectory, landed accurately, rolled lightly on the green and went straight into the hole, to the astonishment and dismay of the spectators.

That moment brought Nguyen Nhat Long an albatross point, which is considered the "shot of a lifetime" in any golfer's career.

According to statistics, the rate of scoring albatross in professional and amateur tournaments is extremely low, even many times rarer than HIO.

Many professional golfers have dozens of hole-in-ones in their careers but have never recorded an albatross. Tiger Woods, one of the greatest legends, has only recorded 2 albatross in his official career.

As one of the prominent faces of Vietnamese golf, Nguyen Nhat Long (born in 2003) has constantly strived to prove his mettle and talent through domestic and international tournaments. Nhat Long's massive collection of titles can be mentioned as the champion of Tien Phong Golf Championship 2020, Vietnam Amateur Golf Open Championship (VAO) 2023, National Golf Championship 2023...
