En route to her dominant victory at the Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship last week, Lydia Ko added an exclamation point and contributed to the Wounded Warrior Project Weekend.

On the par-5 12^th hole, Ko had a comfortable lead but wasn’t satisfied. She laid up to 40 yards short of the green and then pitched in for an eagle to extend her lead. It was one of five eagles on the weekend.

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.

There have been 237 eagles made this season, raising $237,000. There are four tournaments remaining in the season.

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.
