Watch: Curtis Thompson holes out for eagle at Honda with sister Lexi watching

What better way to spend your vacation time than rooting on your big brother on the PGA Tour?

Lexi Thompson, who is in the midst of a six-week lull in her LPGA season, was following her older brother, Curtis Thompson, a Tour rookie, in Round 1 of the Honda Classic at PGA National. And after 14 holes, the world's 10th ranked women's player got the moment she'd been waiting for.

Curtis made the turn at 1 over but started to find his groove on the back-nine. By the time he reached the par-4 sixth (his 15th hole), he had clawed back to 2 under, four shots off the lead, and his climb continued as he holed out for eagle from 204 yards.
