The next major taking place across the world of golf will be the the Chevron Championship in Houston. LPGA players have a chance to get into proper form the week ahead of it though as this week they are in Los Angeles for the JM Eagle LA Championship.
Hannah Green is the event’s defending champion and carded a 3-under 69 to get things going; however, it was Madelene Sagstrom who stole the show.
Sagstrom has already won on Tour this season as she was victorious at the T-Mobile Match Play in Las Vegas. She finished in solo second after the first round, but it was what she did on her final hole that was memorable as she recorded an age on the par-3 9th hole.
That is quite the way to start a tournament, but more notably it is quite the way to end a round. Given that it took place on Thursday it was hardly a walk-off homer, but it was about as close as you can get in the world of golf.
For what it’s worth, while it was the first ace of the LPGA season at large, Madelene noted post-round that it was his first one in tournament play ever. She also said she calls the shot that she played a “2-2-2.”
As noted Madelene finished the first round in solo second. She trails Ashleigh Buhai by, ironically, two.
