South Korean Inbee Park had one in a practice round at the par-3 sixth. And now China’s Xiyu Lin has the first official hole-in-one for the women in these Games.
Lin’s tee shot on No. 8 took two hops and jumped into the hole for a 1 during the third round. Check out the video above.
A little while later, Lydia Ko aced the eighth for her first career hole-in-one.
