Evian Championship 2021: Jeongeun Lee6 in 1st Place After Record-Tying Round 2

Jeongeun Lee6 turned heads when she birdied four of the final five holes during Thursday's opening round of the 2021 Evian Championship in Evian-les-Bains, France.

She also started building momentum that would turn into history.

Lee6 picked up right where she left off in dramatic fashion and shot a 10-under 61 in Friday's second round. She has a commanding three-stroke lead over the rest of the field and appears well on her way to a tournament victory.

Kent Paisley of Golf Digest noted Lee6's bogey-free 10-under 61 matched the round from Hyo Joo Kim at the 2014 Evian Championship as the lowest score in major history.
