Standing in the middle of the 18th fairway at the Women s World Championship, Lydia Ko was seven shots off the lead.
Walking off the 18th green, she was right back in contention.
A freakish eagle on the final hole of the Kiwi golfer s third round in Singapore saw her card a three-under 69 and jump to 10-under, and while Ko was celebrating, leader Inbee Park was far less happy, with a bogey on 14 and a double bogey on 16 seeing her once-sizeable lead evaporate.

The Chiefs comfortably upstaged the Blues, putting away their neighbours 39-12, but in many ways the result was secondary to giving women in this country a Super Rugby platform to aspire to. It s been pretty surreal, such a special occasion, and definitely long overdue, Blackwell said.
