2015 Evian Championship 1st Round Standout Moments
Lexi Thompson started off the first round eagle binge with hers on the par-5 13th hole, but she wasn’t the only player in the field to thrill the fans. Austin Ernst grabbed a piece of the 13th hole too:

That looked good to Nicole Broch Larsen, winner of last week’s Helsingborg Open, so she walked away from the 9th with an eagle on her scorecard too!
