RIANNE Malixi sizzled with an eagle-aided 69 but fell behind by four as Nikki Oh proved hotter with a 65 she spiked with a rare double-eagle feat at the start of the AJGA Thunderbird Junior All-Star at the Papago Golf Course in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday (Saturday in Manila).

The rising Filipino star hit two solid shots at the 427-yard, par-5 opening hole and made an eagle then rebounded from a bogey mishap on the third with birdies on Nos. 7, 10 and 15.
