LANCASTER, Pa. – Chella Choi came a fraction of an inch from making a lot of history Saturday at the U.S. Women’s Open.
After blistering the front nine at Lancaster Country Club with a record-breaking 29, she lipped out a 3-foot putt for par at the l8th hole, a putt that would have closed out a record-tying 63.
Afterward, Choi said she didn’t know she was putting for a 63 to tie a U.S. Women’s Open record low 18-hole score. Helen Alfredsson is the only woman to shoot 63 in a U.S. Women’s Open.
