Nothing moves a player up the leaderboard like an eagle – or three.
South Korea’s Eunjung Yi eagled three of her first five holes in the third round of the LPGA Corning Classic to vault from 4 under to 10 under, and four shots off the lead.
Yi eagled the par-4 first, the par-5 second, and the par-5 fifth. She’s just the fifth player in LPGA history to accomplish the feat and only the 17th to post consecutive eagles.
Meanwhile, fellow South Korean Amy Yang recorded her first career hole-in-one, holing a 4-iron from 182 yards on the par-3 third.
