birdied
Beat par once
Birdied is the past tense of birdie, a golf term meaning to complete a hole in one stroke under par.
If par is four and you finish in three, you've birdied the hole: She birdied the seventh to take the lead.
The word comes from early 20th-century American slang, where "bird" meant something excellent.
