LPGA Scoring Record for Lowest 72-Hole Stroke Total

What is the lowest stroke total in LPGA Tour history for a four-round, 72-hole tournament? That record is 257, first established by a golfer who played four rounds of 65 and lower to win her tournament. And one golfer since has matched that total

The LPGA's 72-hole scoring record of 257 was first 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.

That first 257 has been matched once, by Miyu Yamashita in the 2026 CPKC Women's Open. Like Kim, Yamashita won her tournament by nine strokes. Yamashita had rounds of 62, 64, 65 and 66, and her stroke total was 23-under par.
