Under Par

Any score that is lower than the established par for a hole, including birdies (one under), eagles (two under), and albatrosses (three under). Scoring under par represents successful execution and is the primary goal for competitive golfers. Achieving under par scores requires combination of distance, accuracy, short game skills, and putting proficiency. Professional golfers consistently score under par through superior course management, technical skills, and mental approach. Under par rounds are celebrated achievements that demonstrate mastery of golf's various challenges and requirements.
