Impressive winger's successful long shot? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

albatross

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'impressive winger's' is the first definition.
'albatross' can be an answer for 'winger's' (albatross is a kind of bird). I am unsure of the 'impressive' bit.

'successful long shot?' is the second definition.
'albatross' can be an answer for 'shot?' (I have seen 'Great shot' mean 'albatross' so perhaps 'shot' could also mean 'albatross'). I'm not certain of the 'successful long' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for albatross that I've seen before include "that golfer with a hole in one might register?" , "The Ancient Mariner's burden" , "Golf course achievement > accounting for handicap" , "Atlas bros alter the large bird with narrow wings" , "something few golfers achieve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
