Record Alert! This Up-and-Coming Golfer Even Beat Tiger Woods’ Record Breaker, Rose Zhang, With Her New Achievement

In the realm of sports, there is only one constant element, and it’s change. Today’s winner may miss the cut in the next event. It’s evident that talent in sports evolves over time.

Currently, the top women golfers include names like Nelly Korda, Megan Khang, Rose Zhang, among other brilliant ones. However, they too will inevitably see their brilliance fade, their names go lower in charts, making way for a new generation of LPGA players who will set new records, break the old ones, and etch their names in history. The dawn of this transition has already begun with the excellent show of North Carolina State’s Lauren Olivares Leon.

Therefore surpassing legendary women golfers like Rose Zhang who had even surpassed Tiger Woods’ record for the best competition score but now finds herself second to this new amateur golfer.

Lauren’s phenomenal round of 11-under-par at the Yeamans Hall Club comprised of 13 birdies and two bogeys. Initially, the score was believed to be 59, but during scoring there was an error found on the seventh hole after which the new score became a 60.

She is not just giving competition to women but also to men since there have only been a total of 17 men who have shot 60 at collegiate events. Lauren’s accomplishments extend beyond this single round; she now holds the NCAA record for the lowest 54-hole individual total.
