On Sunday, whether it was designed or not, the young Ladies European Tour golfer masterfully played the par-3, 214-yard Hole 3 during the 2025 AIG Women’s British Open at Royal Porthcawl in Porthcawl, Wales, for a hole-in-one.
Rhodes’ ace, however, didn’t come without some help, as it ricocheted off Stephanie Kyriacou’s ball that was placed inches away from the hole to bounce in.
Noted by Golfweek, part of the USA TODAY Network, it is the second ace this week at the AIG Women’s British Open, as Kyriacou made the first ace during Friday’s second round competition on the par-3 eighth hole.
Despite her ace and several birdies, Rhodes, who has won three events on the LET this season, finished two over par in the final round of competition on Sunday. On the back nine alone, Rhodes recorded two bogies and a double bogey on the par-four sixth hole. At the time of this writing, Rhodes was tied for 19th on the leaderboard at one under par 288.
The AIG Women’s British Open concludes on Sunday in Wales for the final major of the season.
