Two eagles in one round puts her tied for the lead with hometown hero Brooke Henderson.

Minjee Lee didn’t just play golf on Saturday – she put on a masterclass in clutch shot-making that left everyone at CPKC Women’s Open wondering what they just witnessed. Two eagles in a single third round catapulted her into a tie for the lead with Canada’s own Brooke Henderson, setting up a Sunday showdown that has all the makings of something special.

Eagle Number One: Setting the Tone

The first eagle came early, and you could feel the energy shift across the course. Lee’s approach shot was surgical – the kind of precision that makes you remember why she’s won two majors. When that ball dropped, it wasn’t just two strokes off her card; it was a statement to the field that someone was ready to make a serious move up the leaderboard.

The Second Strike: Lightning in a Bottle

If one eagle gets your attention, two eagles in the same round gets your respect. Lee’s second eagle was even more impressive than the first, coming at a moment when momentum could have easily shifted. Instead of backing down, she doubled down and delivered another shot that launched her into a deadlock with Henderson at the top.

Hometown Hero vs. Major Champion

The tie at the top couldn’t be more compelling – Henderson playing in front of her home crowd versus Lee’s explosive Saturday surge. Henderson has been steady all week, but Lee’s fireworks display just crashed the party in the most spectacular way possible. The Canadian crowd will be split between wanting their hero to win and simply appreciating great golf.

Sunday Setup: Winner Takes All

Heading into the final round, this co-lead feels like destiny. Lee has the momentum and the confidence that comes from eagles, while Henderson has the crowd and the comfort of familiar territory. When two players this talented share the lead after a round like Saturday’s, Sunday promises to be unmissable.
