If there’s no video evidence, was it really an ace?
Well, we’re just going to have to trust the scorecards this time around. Three players made aces during the third round of the LPGA’s JTBC Classic Saturday, including major champion Jeongeun Lee6.
The par-3 third at Aviara Golf Club was set up for action, measuring in at a mere 97 yards. And boy, oh boy, did the field take advantage.
Lee6 was part of the first group off this morning and, like the other two players to make aces there, used a 50-degree wedge.
“It was my third hole-in-one, but first hole-in-one during (a) tournament,” she said.
Lee6 went on to shoot a 6-under 66.
Lilia Vu made the next one. On top of the ace, Vu made six birdies and signed for a third-round 7-under 65.
Then, last but not least, Kelly Tan cashed in. She had a wild day in Carlsbad, California on Saturday. She made an ace, an eagle, five birdies, five bogeys, and a double. All-in-all, Tan signed for a 2-under 70.
