Players Championship first: Chandler Phillips cards three eagles in a single round

Holes in one are rare. Albatrosses, too. But what's rarer than both is carding three eagles in a single round, but that's exactly what Chandler Phillips did in Thursday's opening round of The Players Championship.

It's the first time a player has ever carded three eagles in a single round at The Players, according to the PGA Tour.

Phillips eagled three of the four par 5s at TPC Sawgrass including the 611-yard ninth — his 18th hole of the day — the finish off a wild round that also included four birdies, three bogeys and a double.
