Alison Lee ran around the field at the Saudi Arabian Golf Club a week after losing in a LPGA playoff. Lee shot an incredible 61-61-65 in the Ladies European Tour Aramco Team Series at Riyadh golf club.
Lee’s 22-under-par total shattered the LET 36-hole scoring records by six shots.
She finished at 29-under-187, matching the tournament’s scoring record. Carlota Ciganda of Spain, who was the hero at the Solheim Cup recently, finished second solo after rounds of 65, 63, and 67. Charley Hull was third with 18 under.
“I made some really good putts,” Lee said of her brilliant opening. “Statistically [this season], driver, greens-in-regulation, everything’s been really good. “I just haven’t had the confidence to use the putter, and that has been the most important thing.”

Saudi Arabia’s support for LET events remains controversial, given the many human rights violations that Saudi Arabia is accused of, particularly towards women.
