Jeongeun Lee6 birdied her last two holes at the Amundi Evian Championship on Friday to shoot 10-under 61 and tie Hyo Joo Kim – who shot 61 in the first round of the 2014 Evian – for the lowest score ever shot in a major by a man or woman.
Lee6 made 10 birdies and no bogeys, including four consecutive birdies on Nos. 6 through 9, with a chip-in birdie on No. 8.
Lee6 began her round one shot behind co-leaders Yealimi Noh and Pajaree Anannarukarn. She held a comfortable seven-shot lead after the morning wave was complete, at 15-under 127, breaking In Gee Chun's lowest 36-hole major total – 129 at the 2016 Evian Championship – by two shots.
