Credit two players in the eagle assault last week in Portland as part of the Wounded Warrior Project Weekends effort.

Maria McBride, who will be a Vice Captain for the European Team in the Solheim Cup next month in Germany, finished 39^th in the Cambia Portland Classic. But her third-round 68 included an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole and a hole in one on the par-3 13^th. It was McBride’s third career LPGA ace, but the first since 1999.

Joanna Klatten, the LPGA’s longest driver this season, also doubled up. She holed her second shot on the par-4 18^th hole to complete a third-round 67. She also eagled the par-5 fifth hole in a final-round 68 en route to a T13 finish.

To complete the week, Cheyenne Woods holed her second shot on the final hole for an eagle as she shot an even-par 72.

Nine total weekend eagles were made at Columbia Edgewater Country Club to bring the total for the year to 185 and $185,000 raised with 10 tournaments remaining this season.

The Wounded Warrior Weekend takes place during the final two rounds at LPGA tournaments (final round only in 54-hole events), with CME Group donating $1,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project for each eagle that is recorded. This amount will increase to $5,000 for each eagle during the weekend of the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship and a formal check will be presented to the Wounded Warrior Project during the trophy ceremony.

The weekend eagle totals this year have varied from a season-low one (ShopRite LPGA Classic) to a high of 22 (Ricoh Women’s British Open).

For the 2014 season, 283 eagles were made on the weekend, raising $283,000. While no eagles were made on the weekend in Naples, the CME Group generously rounded up to $300,000. The 2014 season also had a lot of aces and double eagles. Of the 31 holes in one, 15 came in weekend play. Of a record four double eagles during the year, three were scored on the weekend.
