A second round which is part of the Book of Records

The card of 61 returned in the second round by So Yeon Ryu is the best in the history of the 18-hole course where the Walmart NWA Championship was played this weekend, breaking the record of 62 set by Jane Park in 2012, then equalized successively by Angela Park, Lydia Ko and Ayako Uehara.

This score of 61 equals the lowest score of her career, which she achieved at the Astralian Ladies Masters 2012; Her previous record on the LPGA Tour was a 62 at the 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, which she won.

Ryu had also marked his LPGA career with a score of 126 on 36 holes; Her previous lowest score was 129 at the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women's Open, which she also won.

With this victory, Ryu also becomes the first to have won several tournaments in the 2017 season, following the achievement of the first place of the podium at the ANA Inspiration.

“My dreams are coming true! I've always dreamed of this. I can not believe it. I didn't expect two good things to come together. Ryu said reacting to the news. “First of all, I really want to thank everyone who supported me, to become the world No. 1. I know this is going to be a lot of pressure. "
