54-Hole Scoring Record (Fewest Strokes) on LPGA Tour
The record-holder is Hyo Joo Kim, who had rounds of 61, 69 and 61 again over the first three rounds of the 2026 Ford Championship. Her 191 total lowered by one stroke the previous record shared by four golfers. And it wasn't the only "first" Kim achieved with those scores. She became the first LPGA golfer to have three different rounds of 61 or lower in her career, and the first to record two such rounds in the same tournament.
The previous record of 192 was first achieved by Annika Sorenstam in 2003 Mizuno Classic, with rounds of 63, 63 and 66.
The list of LPGA's lowest 54-hole scores that follows includes several golfers who recorded their totals in 54-hole tournaments. Obviously, those golfers also won those tournaments. In the list below, the 54-hole tournaments are designated by noting that the stroke total listed was a "winning total."

Sei Young Kim also holds the LPGA's 72-hole record for most strokes under par in a tournament. S.Y. Kim finished her four-round tournament at 31-under, and her stroke total in that 2018 Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic, 257, is also the LPGA record for lowest 72-hole stroke total.
Webb was the first golfer to post 193 over 54 holes of an LPGA tournament. Sorenstam tied that then-record one year later in the tournament in which she also posted the first-ever 59 on the LPGA Tour. Two years after that, at the 2003 Mizuno Classic, Sorenstam became the first to post 192 for 54 holes on the LPGA Tour.
All of the golfers on the list won their tournaments with the exceptions of Kang and Pedersen. Kang shot 68 in the final round of the 2021 Tournament of Champions, then lost in a playoff to Jessica Korda. Pederson had a 74 in her final round and finished tied for fifth place in the 2023 Annika.
