Australia’s Stephanie Kyriacou finished off in style at the inaugural Black Desert Championship. The 24-year-old holed her second shot into the closing par 5 to record a rare albatross.
“I just nailed my driver,” said Kyriacou. “My second shot was actually a pretty good number. It was 212 meters to the flag and my 5-wood carries like 195, so it just landed short, bounced up.

“I was just trying to hit on the green to be honest. Then I smoked it and it went in. But like I kind of stopped watching it and every win was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, and then they cheered. I was like, oh, that’s pretty good.”
Kyriacou closed with a 5-under 67 to finish in a share of sixth at 16 under, 10 shots behind winner Haeran Ryu.
“This week has been unreal,” said Kyriacou. “The views, staying on site, what the tournament has done for us, the charter flight, everything. It’s just been super easy to get to. Like the course is unreal. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s kind of intimidating because if you miss the fairway you’re pretty much reloading.
“But other than that, everything else is unreal.”
