Hyo Joo Kim

Hyo Joo Kim broke the record for men’s and women’s majors when she began the 2014 Evian Championship in France with a staggering 10-under-par 61.

Nineteen at the time, and appearing in her first major, she suddenly found herself with a four-stroke lead over three-time AIG Women's Open winner Karrie Webb.

A day later she trailed by one and that was still the situation with a hole to play, but she then sank a 12-foot birdie putt while Webb bogeyed, allowing Kim to become the third-youngest player to win a women’s major.

Kim has won six more times on the LPGA Tour – most recently in the Ford Championship in March 2025 – while she lost a play-off to Ariya Jutanugarn at the US Women’s Open in 2018.

Her best performance in the AIG Women's Open came when she finished in a tie for fourth place at Walton Heath in 2023.
