In the history of the LPGA Tour and women's major championships, only a handful of golfers have won a major after turning 41. Let's take a look at that list and reveal who holds the all-time record as the LPGA's oldest major championship winner.

The 1986 U.S. Senior Open was the seventh time this major championship of senior (50-and-over) men's golf was played. Dale Douglass built a four-stroke lead over the first three rounds, then held on to win by one.

A golfer younger than 20 winning an LPGA major is something that has happened nine times, but only eight golfers have pulled off this feat because one of them did it twice. So far, four women's major championships have been won by 18-year-olds, and five have gone to 19-year-olds.

A "three jack" or "three-jack" is something every golfer hopes to avoid on every hole they play: "Three-jack" refers to needing three attempts to sink your ball when putting. Miss your first putt, miss your second putt, make your third putt.

The 1985 U.S. Senior Open was the sixth time this major championship of senior (50-and-over) men's golf was played. In his fifth appearance in the tournament, Miller Barber notched his third victory.

Who holds the record for lowest winning score in any of the LPGA major championships ? The record-low, 72-hole score in any of the five women's majors is 263, set by In Gee Chun in 2016.

The PGA Tour Sony Open (also known as the Hawaiian Open and Sony Open in Hawaii) was a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour from the mid-1960s until the mid-2020s.

The PGA Tour traces its origins to 1916. Over that long span of time, what is the tour record for lowest final-round score by a tournament winner? Which golfers have gone the lowest in the final round to win a tournament?

What does it mean to "make par the hard way"? Broadly, it means that a golfer has scored par on a hole while overcoming a mis-hit, mistake, penalty or other potential calamity.
