Golf-Uehara ties LPGA record after second ace in Canada Open (Reuters)

Aug 28 (Reuters) - Ayako Uehara became the fourth golfer in LPGA history to record two hole-in-ones in the same tournament when the Japanese player aced the par-three eighth in her final round at the Canadian Women's Open on Sunday.

The 36-year-old had aced the par-three 11th hole from 158 yards in her third round and repeated the feat a day later, this time holing a seven-iron from 164 yards.

Another highlight of Uehara's final round five-under 67 was a hole-out for an eagle from 150 yards on the par-four fourth.

"It turned out to be a really memorable tournament," said Uehara, who finished a season-high tied for 10th at 12-under 276, 11 adrift of runaway winner Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand.
