Emily Kristine Pedersen Ties LPGA Tour Record, Leads The Annika by Three Shots

With a potential win, Pedersen could become the first Danish woman to win on the LPGA Tour and secure a spot in next week’s CME Group Tour Championship.

  • Emily Kristine Pedersen tied the LPGA Tour record for the lowest 54-hole score in history, matching the mark set by Annika Sorenstam in 2003 and later equaled by Nasa Hataoka, Sei Young Kim, and Danielle Kang.
  • Despite her record-setting performance, Pedersen emphasized the strong performance of the entire field, noting that her 8-under 62 was not the lowest round of the day.
  • Pedersen's strong short game and ability to avoid mistakes have been key to her success in the tournament, helping her maintain momentum throughout the rounds.
  • If Pedersen wins, she will become the first Danish woman to win on the LPGA Tour and is projected to climb into the top 35 of the Race to the CME Globe points list, qualifying for the CME Group Tour Championship.
  • Pedersen currently leads The Annika by three shots, with Amy Yang and Lilia Vu trailing closely behind. She will be aiming to extend her lead in the final round.
