She had a chance at tying the LPGA scoring record of 59 but settled for a lengthy two-putt birdie putt on the closing hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ryu didn\u2019t know what she had done until she looked at the scorecard and counted all the sub-par holes \u2014 nine birdies and an eagle \u2014 and realized it was a par 71.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cBut after the putt and I counted my score with my caddie,\u201d she said. \u201cOh my God, it\u2019s 11-under par today. It was so amazing. My caddie says, \u2018Yep.\u2019 I\u2019m so happy right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Her 60 broke by one shot the record for lowest round in an LPGA major.

Her record day put her at 18-under 194 \u2014 another LPGA major record \u2014 for a three-shot lead over Aki Iwai of Japan, who shot 65.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The next closest players to Ryu were seven shots behind \u2014 Brooke Henderson (64) and Mao Saigo (67).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lottie Woad, who began the third round with a one-shot lead, struggled to a 72 and fell nine shots off the pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4797\">Jude Bellingham scores twice to lift England past Norway and into World Cup semifinals<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Ryu picked up birdies on both par 3s on the front nine, and then holed out for eagle with a 7-iron from 155 yards on the par-4 sixth hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat hole is a little tricky because little narrow and the green is little hilly. So that\u2019s why I just want to make par on that hole,\u201d Ryu said. \u201cI hit 7-iron there and then it\u2019s pretty good shot there. I just walking towards [the green] and it\u2019s going in.
