Alison Lee smashes LET scoring file en path to victory in Saudi Arabia

The right way to you comply with a gap spherical of 61?

In case you’re 28-year-old American professional Alison Lee, it’s easy: Simply do it once more.

At this week’s Aramco Team Series occasion in Saudi Arabia, Lee posted back-to-back rounds of 61 (-11) to succeed in 22 below par by two rounds, obliterating the earlier Women European Tour 36-hole scoring file by a whopping six pictures.

Each of Lee’s first two rounds included 11 birdies. In her opening spherical, Lee set one other LET file by carding eight birdies in a row on holes 15-18 and 1-4.

“In case you advised me at first of the week I used to be going to shoot 22-under after two days I wouldn’t have believed you!” Lee told the Ladies European Tour. “So I’m actually proud of the place I’m proper now. I made quite a lot of actually good putts.” 

Lee continued her constructive momentum by the third and closing spherical, and managed to keep away from carding a single bogey within the entirety of the 54-hole occasion. Her Sunday spherical of seven-under 65 included seven birdies and was ok to match the LET’s scoring file of 29 below and win the event by eight pictures over Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, who received the group part of the event. England’s Charley Hull was third at 18 below.

Whereas Lee remains to be searching for her maiden LPGA victory, the Aramco win marks the second LET title of her profession.
