Hyo Joo Kim Sets 54-Hole LPGA Record and Builds 4-Shot Lead over Korda
Hyo Joo Kim set the LPGA 54-hole scoring record with 25-under 191, holding a four-shot lead at the Ford Championship after shooting her second 11-under 61 this week.
- On Saturday, Hyo Joo Kim set the LPGA 54-hole record with a score of 25-under 191 at the Ford Championship, establishing a four-shot lead at Whirlwind Golf Club in Phoenix.
- Kim, the defending champion, is coming off a victory last week at the Founders Cup, where she held off American Korda to win by one shot.
- Seven consecutive one-putt greens fueled Kim's torrid back-nine start on the Cattail course, including a birdie on the 16th hole after her pulled approach bounced favorably to 7 feet.
- Sunday shapes as a two-person race between players who already have won this year, as the rest of the field, including English rookie Mimi Rhodes, trails by nine shots.
- With 18 holes remaining, Kim targets the 72-hole record of 257 set by Sei Young Kim in 2018, a mark that would cement her dominant performance in Phoenix.
