SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) â Nasa Hataoka parred the final two holes to miss a chance for the second 59 in LPGA Tour history, finishing with a 10-under 61 and a four-stroke lead Thursday in the Marathon LPGA Classic.
Annika Sorenstam is the only player to shoot 59 on the LPGA Tour, accomplishing the feat in her 2001 Standard Register PING victory at Moon Valley in Arizona.
âWhen I had my ninth birdie it kind of did come to my mind,â Hataoka said. âBut then, after I only having two holes (left), I just thought how great Annika was more than me getting it.â
Hataoka was a stroke off the Highland Meadows record of 60 set by Paula Creamer in 2008. The 22-year-old Japanese player had her lowest score on the LPGA Tour, topping a third-round 63 in her 2018 NWA Championship victory.
PGA makes 3rd stop in South Carolina, LPGA stays by the bay
The PGA Tour in South Carolina usually happens the week after the Masters. Now it heads to the Palmetto State for the third time in nine weeks. Dustin Johnson leads the field at the Palmetto Championship at Congaree, following events at Hilton Head and Kiawah Island. The tournament is filling in this year only for the Canadian Open, which was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions for the second straight year. The LPGA Tour isn’t going very far. One week after the U.S. Women’s Open at Olympic Club in San Francisco, it goes down the street to Lake Merced for its next stop.

History swirled all around Wei-Ling Hsu at the Pure Silk Championship presented by Visit Williamsburg, the colonial town founded in 1632. The River Course at the Kingsmill Resort is where Annika Sorenstam won the last of her 72 LPGA Tour titles. Moriya Jutanugarn and Jessica Korda, who already share a record with Sorenstam, were looking to add to their legacy. But Sunday belonged to Hsu.
