The Australian went close to a hole-in-one herself with a shot that hit the green and came to rest inches from the cup.
Rhodes then played a very similar shot and, luckily for her, Kyriacou's ball was handily placed for it to deflect in off. Kyriacou was still able to hole her short putt for a deserved birdie.
Meanwhile, Yamashita birdied the fourth to open up a three-shot lead as nearest challenger Kim A-lim dropped back to seven under following back-to-back bogeys.
Rhodes' compatriot Charley Hull then cut the gap to two with consecutive birdies at the fifth and sixth.

Hibs are edging closer to the signing of Scotland centre-half Grant Hanley after confirming that fellow defender Lewis Miller has joined Blackburn Rovers for a 'significant fee'. Australian internationalist Miller was entering the final 12 months of his contract at Easter Road after an extension earlier this summer and was wanted by a clutch of English Championship sides. The Scotsman understands that Blackburn have paid in the region of £1 million for the 24-year-old, who can play as a right-back as well as a centre-half. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Miller's departure leaves a void in the Hibs squad and discussions are ongoing with experienced centre-half Grant Hanley. The 33-year-old has been capped 62 times by Scotland and remains part of Steve Clarke's current squad. Lewis Miller has packed his bags and left Hibs for Blackburn Rovers. | SNS Group Formerly of Blackburn, Newcastle, Norwich and Birmingham City, Hanley is now a free agent after being part of the Blues' League One title-winning squad and attended Hibs' 2-1 Europa League defeat by Midtjylland last week. On Miller's departure, Hibs head coach David Gray said: 'I'd like to start by thanking Millsy for all his efforts during his time with us. 'Since making the move to Scotland, he's been coachable, willing to learn, and has relentlessly worked on his game. He's certainly seen the rewards for that both at club level and internationally. We know he can go a long way and wish him all the best in England with Blackburn.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay added: 'We triggered Lewis Miller's contract extension back in April, knowing there was a lot of interest in him from the UK and abroad. It's been widely reported that we rejected bids for him earlier in the window and have worked hard to get a fee that reflects his true value.

Daniel Levy sets Thomas Frank clear target and hits back at 'completely unfair' criticism
Daniel Levy has firmly rejected any suggestion he is involved in football decision-making at Spurs as he calls on Thomas Frank to use Europa League win as springboard to more success Daniel Levy has set new Spurs boss Thomas Frank a straightforward target: to be competitive across the board. Frank is lining up for his Premier League debut in charge of Tottenham having taken over from sacked Ange Postecoglou. Levy said a 'collective' decision was made to part ways with Postecoglou in June, despite the Australian bringing badly-needed silverware to north London by winning the Europa League in May. That decision - the 13th managerial change since Levy became chairman in 2001 - came because of a dismal domestic campaign in which Spurs finished one place above the relegation zone. And Levy has made it clear that now the team has tasted success new boss Frank, who has arrived from Brentford, must use his predecessor's triumph as 'a springboard' for more. "Nothing has changed in terms of our ambition, that has always been the case, but having won the Europa League you get a taste of it,' Levy told The Overlap. "But it's not enough. We know we need to use that as a springboard to keep winning. 'We couldn't lose sight of the fact that we finished 17th in the league. We lost 22 Premier League games, and it's impossible for Tottenham to be in that position, and so we had to take the emotion out of it. "We're there to win and yes, we won a European trophy, and it was fantastic. But we also need to win on all fronts - and the Premier League says it all." "Thomas Frank is a highly-intelligent individual. He's got a fantastic way about him in terms of communication. He gets the style of football we want to play. He understands that Rome wasn't built in a day. "We haven't told him, 'You've got to win the league this year'. We just want to compete at the highest level. We will support him to the best of our ability. I very much hope that Thomas will bring all the right ingredients and bring this team to where it belongs - which is right at the top.' Levy also hit back at gripes that he is overly involved with football operations at the club describing any suggestion of interference on his behalf as 'completely unfair.' He added: 'People that have worked in this club and understand the workings of the football side, I do not interfere at all in the decision making of this player vs that player. "It is always the coach, always the technical staff – the only thing I get involved in is when they decide which player they want to buy for instance or which player they want to sell; I will go out and do my very best for this football club. I'm not interfering in the football decisions." J oin our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Daniel Levy gives honest verdict on Tottenham backlash and lack of trophies
Daniel Levy has said he will be fully appreciated once he has stepped away from being Spurs chairman as he hits back at suggestions he has meddled with football affairs Daniel Levy believes his work will not be fully appreciated until he steps away from Spurs. The chairman says protests from fans calling for him to move on leave him feeling bruised and while he has 'suffered' like a supporter when results have been poor. But he is convinced that delayed gratification will come when he is no longer in the firing line having overseen an era of seismic financial growth. Levy has been in charge of Spurs since 2001 but their off-field successes, headlined by the opening of their £1bn stadium in 2019, have not measured up with underperformance on the pitch. May's Europa League win was the club's first trophy since 2008 – and still preceded the 13th permanent managerial charge of Levy's reign as Ange Postecoglou paid the price for a dismal domestic campaign. "I think it's one of those situations - when I'm not here I'm sure I'll get the credit,' Levy told The Overlap. "When you come here and look at this wonderful building (the stadium) and the fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we're doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold and something right. "The construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is my greatest achievement. This stadium is a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map." Asked about the backlash he has experienced from supporters who believe change is necessary, Levy replied: 'Of course it hurts but their pain is also my pain. I want to win and when we're not playing well, and we're not winning, believe me, I suffer as well. It ruins the whole weekend. It's horrible – you're in this to win and when you don't win, it's no fun.' Levy said a 'collective' decision was made to part ways with Postecoglou in June, despite the Australian bringing badly-needed silverware to north London. And the chairman has made it clear that now the team has tasted success new boss Thomas Frank must use his predecessor's triumph as 'a springboard' for more. "Nothing has changed in terms of our ambition, that has always been the case, but having won the Europa League you get a taste of it,' he added. "But it's not enough. We know we need to use that as a springboard to keep winning. "I can't really answer (why), because I'm not the one that picks the team, motivates the team. We couldn't lose sight of the fact that we finished 17th in the league. We lost 22 Premier League games, and it's impossible for Tottenham to be in that position, and so we had to take the emotion out of it.
