CORNING, N.Y. (AP) -- Eunjung Yi of South Korea made three eagles in her first five holes on the third round of the LPGA Corning Classic.

Yi eagled the par-4 first hole, the par-5 second hole and the par-5 fifth hole. She's just the fifth player in LPGA history to accomplish the feat and only the 17th to post consecutive eagles.

Yi started Saturday at 4 under, tied for 59th. Her spree left her at 10 under and just four shots behind leader Karine Icher of France, who had yet to tee off.

South Korea's Amy Yang aced the par-3 third hole with a 4-iron from 182 yards. It's her first hole-in-one on tour.
