At the Evian Championship, Haeran Ryu makes history with best score ever posted in a major golf tournament

Haeran Ryu has made history at the Evian Championship, posting the best 18-hole score ever recorded in a major golf tournament. The South Korean golfer shot an astonishing 11-under-par 60 on Saturday, a performance that eclipses all previous records in both men's and women's major championships.

Ryu, who also won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in late June, is now in a commanding position to claim her second major title of the season. The 25-year-old will begin Sunday's final round with a three-stroke advantage over her nearest competitor.

Her remarkable round saw her reach the 18th hole with a putt that could have secured a mythical score of 59. While she narrowly missed that milestone, her 60 is a historic achievement that has cemented her name in the annals of golf. The Evian Championship is one of the five major championships on the LPGA Tour.

The Evian Championship is being held at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France. Ryu's exceptional play has captivated the golf world, and all eyes will be on her as she aims to convert her record-breaking performance into another major championship victory.
