Jeongeun Lee6 birdied her final four holes Friday at the Amundi Evian Championship to shoot a 10-under-par 61 and tie the lowest round ever in major championship history.
She led after the second round with a 36-hole total of 127, good for 15-under par. That also was a record for two rounds in a men's or women's major championship, breaking the 128 shot by Brooks Koepka at the 2019 PGA Championship. South Korean In Gee Chun shot a 129 at the 2016 Evian Championship.
Lee6, 25, tied the 61 fired by another South Korean, Hyo Joo Kim, in the 2014 Evian in Evian-Les-Bains, France.
