Alison Lee’s recent spectacular performance in Saudi Arabia

Alison Lee, the American golfer recently displayed a remarkable performance at the Aramco Team Series event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Her subsequent rounds of 61-61 in the tournament smashed all the previous records and created history.

Her incredible form was not limited to the first two rounds only but also to the finish. She made a strong finish at 29-under 187 equaling the LET's tournament scoring record. This broke the previous record of Scotland's Kylie Henry. She now shares the all-time LET record for a 72-hole score with France's Gwladys Nocera.

She also achieved a significant milestone as the only second player in LET history to win a tournament without dropping a single shot. This puts her in a league of her own, matching the feat of Italy's Diana Luna.

Alison Lee’s remarkable run includes her success in Saudi Arabia followed by a remarkable second-place finish at the LPGA's BMW Ladies Championship in Korea. In 2023, Rcae to Costa Del Sol helped her climb the rankings at the world level.

“I made a lot of really good putts, Statistically [this season], driver, greens-in-regulation, everything’s been really good. But I just haven’t been able to get that confidence in the putter and that’s been the biggest thing,” said Alison Lee post her win in Saudi Arabia.
