March 20 (Reuters) - South Korean Kim Sei-young matched the LPGA scoring record in relation to par when she finished at 27-under to win the JTBC Founders Cup by five strokes in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday.
She had a 15-foot birdie putt at the final hole to break the record held by Swede Annika Sorenstam, set in 2001 at nearby Moon Valley.
But Kim missed and instead settled for a closing 10-under 62 that tied the Wildfire Golf Club course record.
Kim finished at 27-under 261, while world number one Lydia Ko (65) of New Zealand claimed second place on 22-under.
