Nanna Koerstz Madsen earns LPGA card, breaks Symetra record

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) Nanna Koerstz Madsen earned an immediate LPGA Tour card with her third Symetra Tour victory of the season, breaking the developmental circuit’s 72-hole record for relation to par Sunday in the Danielle Downey Credit Union Classic.

Koerstz Madsen won by seven strokes, closing with a 6-under 66 for a 22-under 266 total at Brook-Lea Country Club. The 22-year-old Danish player broke the tour record of 19 under set by Jennifer Song on a par-70 course in 2010 in Decatur, Illinois.

”It (LPGA) was the goal from the very beginning of the year and now I have it so it feels really, really nice,” Koerstz Madsen said.
