Hedwall nails hole in one to top leaderboard
Print Edition
Sweden’s Caroline Hedwall had a hole in one as part of a 7-under par 65 that gave her a one-shot lead after yesterday’s second round of the women’s Australian Open in Melbourne.
Hedwall aced the par-3 16th and also eagled the par-5 eighth along with five birdies and two bogeys to reach 11-under 133, one shot ahead of world No. 2 Suzanne Pettersen of Norway.
Pettersen, who shot 66 to lead after the first round, had a 68 at Victoria Golf Club. Her round included five birdies and one bogey. Australian amateur Minjee Lee was a further shot back at 9-under after a 67.
Hedwall said she didn’t know she had a hole in one at 16 until reaching the green. “I couldn’t see it and the crowd didn’t want to yell because Laura (Davies) was hitting off on No. 17, so we walked up there and they were like, ‘it went in’,” Hedwall said.
“Yesterday I hit a full 7-iron over the green (for bogey at 16) and it was basically the same yardage today. So I hit a softer 7-iron. It covered the pin the whole way and I just saw it bounce once and hit the pin but I didn’t see it go in.”
Fellow Swede Anna Nordqvist had the round of the day with a 64 — a new course record for women — and was tied for fourth at 8-under with Holly Clyburn of England and world No. 4 Lydia Ko of New Zealand.
