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.

What International manager has said about latest Hibs signing as ex Birmingham City and Newcastle United man arrives
What Scotland boss said about Hibs' latest signing as ex Birmingham City and Newcastle United ace arrives Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Scotland manager, Steve Clarke has heaped praise on Hibs' latest signing in the past and has always had faith in him when playing for his country. Hibs sign the defender following the departure of Australian right back, Lewis Miller, who went to Blackburn Rovers for a fee of around £1.5m. Hibernian got their domestic season off to a flyer, with victory at Dens Park following a Kieron Bowie brace. The Hibees bounced back well after the disappointment of the previous match, agonisingly losing out to FC Midtjylland in extra time to end their Europa League dream. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As David Gray keeps bolstering his squad over the window, Hibs' latest new signing has had some very high praise in the past. Clarke labels Hanley 'big credit' Hibs have just completed the signing of veteran Scotland defender, Grant Hanley following his contract terminating at English League One winners, Birmingham in the summer. It will be the first time Hanley has played first team club football this side of the border, with his only other clubs being Norwich City, Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers. Since Steve Clarke took over as Scotland manager in 2019, Hanley has been an ever present in the side, showing the gaffer clearly has a lot of trust in the 33 year old. In fact, in Scotland's last competitive victory, a 1-0 win over Greece in Athens, Clarke singled out Hanley as being a standout performer. Speaking to the BBC, Clarke said: 'two of the defenders don't play regularly at their club which is a big credit to them and how they prepare themselves, Tony Ralston and Grant Hanley. They did a great job.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Clarke has also gone on record saying that Hanley has always turned up for Scotland, no matter what his situation was at club level. According to The Sun, Clarke said: 'Grant's got all the experience in the world. He's obviously shown it all his career. Even when he's not starting regularly at Birmingham, he knows how to train, he knows how to work, he keeps himself in shape.' With 62 caps for his country, it's clear that Clarke still sees something in Grant Hanley as a dependable figure who he can rely on. Hibs fans will be hoping he can bring the same attributes he's shown at International level to Easter Road. Gray happy to acquire 'real leader' Hibs boss, David Gray appears to be very happy with the Hanley signing, particularly with the defenders experience of playing in a back three. According to The Daily Record, Gray said: 'It's great to be able to bring Grant to the club. He's performed at a top-level throughout his career and has a real desire to compete at the highest level in his home nation. 'He's a strong, robust defender that can play in any role across our back three. He's a real leader both on and off the pitch and a player of his experience will add a lot to the team. I look forward to working with him.'

Marco Tilio in Celtic transfer limbo as Rapid Vienna prepared to play the game in pursuit of Aussie target
The Austrians - who face Dundee United in the Conference League - have a loan with an obligation in place for the winger Rapid Vienna are prepared to play the waiting game to land top target Marco Tilio, writes Scott Burns in Vienna. The Austrians, who face Dundee United in the first leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier tomorrow night, have a loan deal in place with an obligation to buy the Hoops winger. The issue is that Celtic won't sanction a deal until they get more players in to bolster their squad. Rapid, however, are prepared to play the waiting game even if it means going down to the wire to land the Australian international. Rapid Vienna sporting director Markus Katzer confirmed: 'There is interest. We're monitoring the interest. 'We had interest in him before then Celtic signed him. 'But we're looking at players in his position and we're certainly interested in him but that doesn't mean it's a done deal.' Celtic signed Tilio from Melbourne City back in 2023. He has struggled to make an impact under Brendan Rodgers and has spent the last two seasons on loan at his former club, Melbourne City. The 23-year-old hasn't really had a chance to make the grade at Celtic although he has been back in the group since pre-season. Melbourne are also keen to get him back, although his preference is to make his mark in Europe.

Celtic outcast Marco Tilio sees escape route open up as European club confirm they're DESPERATE to land him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARKUS KATZER has confirmed Rapid Vienna are desperate to land Marco Tilio. The out-of-favour Australian signed a five-year deal with Celtic in 2023 just as Brendan Rodgers returned for his second spell in charge. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 2 Marco Tilio has featured during Celtic's season Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 But it looks like he has no future at the Hoops Credit: Getty But he has barely featured under Rodgers and was shipped out on loan back to Melbourne City. Tilio, 23, has been linked with a switch to Rapid which would see him join on loan for a fee of around £350,000 with an obligation to buy for £1.3million after a certain number of appearances. Sporting director Katzer admits they do want him and SunSport understands Dundee United's Conference League opponents are prepared to wait to get their man. It's thought Tilio is the only player Rapid want to fill the wideman role after being beaten to his signature by the Hoops two years ago. Katzer said: 'There is interest. We're monitoring things. 'We had interest in him before then Celtic signed him as well. 'We're looking at players in his position and we're certainly interested in him but that doesn't mean it's a done deal.' The Hoops, meanwhile, sealed a seventh signing of the summer on Tuesday. Manchester City defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey sealed his expected move to Parkhead. The 19-year old has joined Celtic on a season-long loan from the English Premier League giants. I'm a Celtic-daft bride – I called off the big day but I still celebrated in my wedding dress at Parkhead After completing the move, Simpson-Pusey said: "It's great to be here. "It's such a big club and I'm happy to come here, play in front of the fans and play for the team. "This is a big opportunity. I want to come here and show my talent and my levels. "It'll be good for me to come and hopefully help the team to win the league again and do well in Europe." Have YOU got a point for Kris Boyd?
