HOUSTON - China's Liu Yan recorded a rare albatross — a three-under score on a hole — and emerged with the lead after the second round of the Chevron Championship on April 25 in The Woodlands, Texas.
On the par-five eighth hole at The Club at Carlton Woods, her second shot impressively found the hole.
Liu wound up shooting an even-par 72, leaving her at seven-under 137 in the first LPGA Major of the season.
She said of her albatross: "I take my seven-iron and I see the ball (went) in, so that's a really cool thing. But I think they (TV crew) don't have video for that hole. Little sad."
