Golf score of one under par for a hole (6)

I believe the answer is:

birdie

(Other definitions for birdie that I've seen before include "One under par - watch it!" , "Good hole" , "Golf score of one stroke under par" , "One watched" , "One under in 20 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
