RIYADH: Alison Lee hit a record-breaking 11-under-par to top the leaderboard on Day 1 of the inaugural Aramco Team Series in Riyadh, presented by Public Investment Fund.
The world’s best women golfers were in action at Riyadh Golf Club as the fifth and final round of the 2023 series got underway in what is the first ever professional golf tournament to take place in the Saudi capital.
The American made history by equaling two Ladies European Tour records, one by holing eight consecutive birdies and another by closing with an 11-under-par opening 61 for the individual clubhouse lead. “I hit the ball well today.
I hit some really good approach shots and made some difficult putts,” Lee said. “Today was one of those days where golf felt really easy — it was a dream round.
