Megan Khang sets 18-hole record on Nelly Korda's home course to get in contention for the Founders Cup title

Megan Khang was chasing a sub-60 score in the 2025 LPGA Founders Cup after finishing the front nine with an impressive score. She didn't achieve the feat, but still finished Round 3 with a new 18-hole record at Nelly Korda’s home course on Saturday.

Khang made a total of seven birdies on the front nine of Round 3. Including four birdies in a row on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th. As a result, her score at the end of the front nine became 7-under 29. Before shooting the back nine, the LPGA Tour congratulated Megan Khang on X:

"Rumor has it, @megan_khang1023 has ice running through her veins"

Scoring under 60 in a round is an extremely rare feat in professional golf. In women's professional golf, only Annika Sorenstam holds the record for finishing a round in the 60s. At the 2001 LPGA Standard Register PING, Annika finished her second round with a 13-under 59.

If Megan Khang had managed to shoot a sub-60 at the end of her first round at the LPGA Founders Cup 2025, it would've been a record for her. Khang pulled off three birdies and a bogey at the back nine of Round 3, finishing at 9-under 62. Although she did not achieve a sub-60, this is a new 18-hole career-low for her.

At the 2025 LPGA Founders Cup, Megan Khang finished her first round at even par and played a much better second round. Khang made four birdies on the back nine, including one on the par-5 17th hole.
