LPGA Scoring Record for Lowest 72-Hole Stroke Total
What is the lowest stroke in LPGA Tour history for a four-round, 72-hole tournament? That record is 257, established by a golfer who played four rounds of 65 and lower to win her tournament.
The LPGA's 72-hole scoring record of 257 was set by Sei Young Kim at the 2018 Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. Kim also set the LPGA record for most strokes under par in that tournament, finishing at 31-under.
Kim opened with a 63, followed that up with rounds of 65 and 64 to build a big lead, and finished with a 65. Her 257 total produced a nine-stroke win over runner-up Carlota Ciganda, and was 11 strokes ahead of third-place Anna Nordqvist.
She lowered the previous record of 258 by one stroke. The 258 mark, which, at the time Kim lowered it was shared by three golfers, was first established by Karen Stupples in 2004.
