Mi Hyang Lee scorches course to shoot 27 on her first nine at Wildfire Golf Club

Mi Hyang Lee scorched the back nine (her front nine) at Wildfire Golf Club on March 17, posting seven birdies and an eagle for a 9-under 27. Lee, who is still on the course at the JTBC Founders Cup, becomes only the second player in tour history to shoot 9 under for nine holes. Amy Yang birdied every hole on the back nine at the 2015 LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship in South Korea last October.

Lee becomes only the fifth player in tour history to shoot 27, joining I.K. Kim, Jimin Kang, Paula Creamer and Yang.

The 22-year-old winner of the 2014 Mizuno Classic parred only the 12th hole.
