Hyo Joo Kim knows all about going low. Her 61 in the 2014 Amundi Evian Championship is the lowest round ever in a major – male or female. She was almost as good Sunday, closing with a bogey-free 64 to climb over a mountain of other major winners to take the HSBC Women’s World Championship in a nail-biting finish.
2021/05/03 15:07 GOLF PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) Eight times this season, Sam Burns has been atop the leaderboard after every round except the one that mattered. That changed, finally, at the Valspar Championship. Burns got some help from Keegan Bradley hitting into the water on the 13th hole, and then the 24-year-old from Louisiana took it from there with two big birdies that led to a 3-under 68 and a three-shot victory Sunday. Burns won for the first time on the PGA Tour after twice failing to convert 54-hole leads in the Houston Open last fall and the Genesis Invitational at Riviera in February. The victory moves him into the top 50 in the world and all but assures a spot in the U.S. Open, along with his first trip to the Masters next spring.

Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko was unable to make a surge in the final round at the Women s World Championship in Singapore.
Starting the day three shots off the pace, Ko produced two birdies in her first six holes to move up a jam-packed leaderboard, but that was as good as it got.
A bogey on the 11th hole was followed by seven consecutive pars as she carded a one-under 71 to finish in a share of seventh at 11-under.
