Thursday 2 November 2017 15:55, UK
Cheyenne Woods fired the first hole-in-one of her professional career to move in to contention during the second round of the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open.
The 27-year-old, the niece of 14-time major champion Tiger Woods, followed an opening-round 69 with a six-under 66 to get within three strokes of midway leader Lee-Anne Pace.
Woods birdied the second and fourth before making a big leap up the leaderboard by holing her 161-yard tee-shot with a seven-iron at the par-three sixth.
The American mixed three birdies with a sole blemish after the turn to move in to a share of third alongside Camilla Lenarth and Luna Sobron, who carded a course-record 62.
Pace posted a second successive 66 to get to 12 under at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, with India's Aditi Ashok a shot back in second after making six birdies on a blemish-free card.
