Taylor Pendrith reveals the impressive number of albatross’ scored in his career

Taylor Pendrith made history early in the final round of The Sentry 2025 by scoring an albatross. He holed out from 203 yards on the par-5 5th at Kapalua and recorded the first albatross in the tournament’s 27-year history. Following this, the Canadian golfer revealed that it was his eighth albatross of his career.

Pendrith finished the round at 22 under after a final-round 67. Addressing his unique accomplishment, the 33-year-old dubbed it ‘weird’ that he now has more albatross than hole-in-ones (3) in his career. He admitted to ‘just trying to hit a hard 6-iron’ when the shot went in and made ‘bonus’ history. He said the shot was ‘pretty cool’ as it was also the first one of the new PGA Tour season.

Taylor Pendrith said at The Sentry 2025 on Sunday, as quoted by ASAP Sports:

“That (albatross) is actually number eight. Which is weird. I've got three hole-in-ones and that's number eight albatross. First one in a tournament. It was pretty cool…

That's pretty cool, yeah. No, I had a really good number, and was just trying to hit a hard 6-iron and land it kind of front third and let it chase back, and as soon as I hit it I knew it was going to be really good, didn't expect it to go in, didn't see it go in, but the fans that were up by the green went crazy, so, yeah, it was a really good bonus.”

The albatross' impact on Taylor Pendrith's game at The Sentry

Taylor Pendrith was struggling at The Sentry 2025 before making the albatross. The experienced golfer admitted having a ‘horrible start’ before the ‘momentum’ changed with some good shots.

He said after the competition’s final round:

“I feel like yesterday I got off to a horrible start, I was 2-over through 2, and so it was nice today to kind of get the momentum going and hit a lot of really good shots on the back nine early and couldn't get anything to fall and but overall it was a good round, but to have that happen and 3-under in one hole really gets you going.”

Taylor Pendrith added that his last albatross came four years ago. He reiterated that the feat was “obviously super rare” and he was “rewarded” for a good shot. The PGA Tour regular shot 71-65-67-67 this week and finished 13th on the final leaderboard. The World no.48 golfer left Maui with a historic feat on Sunday.

For the unversed, Hideki Matsuyama won The Sentry 2025 with an 8-under 65 for a three-shot victory over Collin Morikawa. The Japanese golfer broke the PGA Tour record to par for 72 holes, at 35-under 257 at The Plantation Course at Kapalua. The previous record was held by Cameron Smith, who carded in 34-under par at the same course in 2022.
