Jang Has Historic Albatross as Nordqvist, Hull Take LPGA Lead

(Reuters) - South Korean Jang Ha-na made history with an albatross, as Swede Anna Nordqvist and English teenager Charley Hull earned a share of the third-round lead at the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic on Saturday. Jang hit a three-wood at the 218-yard eighth hole, and her ball bounced in front of the green before rolling into the cup for the first albatross on a par-four in recorded LPGA history.

Jang, 23, said she did not see the ball go into the hole, but realized something good had happened when her father standing near the green thrust his arms into the air.
