00:04If you thought Luke Poulter's hole-in-one was going to be the only highlight of Walker Cup week, think again.

00:10Mason Howell, an 18-year-old phenom, amazed everyone with an albatross on the second hole at Cypress Point during Friday's practice round.

00:18The Georgia high school senior pulled a 6-iron from 237 yards out, launched it toward the front of the green,

00:24and watched it take a dreamy roll right to left, slamming the flagstick and dropping straight in.

00:30Howell recounted the moment with calm composure.

00:32Cypress Point, designed by Alistair McKenzie in 1928, is challenging with its over 6,600-yard layout.

00:40Its sloped greens and swirling winds test precision.

00:44After Poulter's eagle and Howell's albatross, indications suggest this course is primed for spectacular moments.

00:51This golf course, there are definitely some birdies out there, but it'll bite you just as fast, Howell warned.
