Three under Par is a very rare score and an Albatross is a very rare bird, and now three under Par is generally referred to as an "Albatross". However nobody knows exactly when the term was coined and it appears to be quite recent.
As late as the 8th April 1935, a day after making an albatross on the par-5 15th hole at Augusta in the Masters, Gene Sarazen referred to his shot as a "dodo". Ab Smith said his group used the phrase 'double eagle' for three under.
