“BRADENTON, Fla. — Megan Khang threatened fans with a 59 on Saturday at the Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands but ultimately finished with a 9-under 62 on Moving Day at Bradenton Country Club, her new career-low round on the LPGA Tour.

Starting the day at 4-under total, the Massachusetts native raced out of the gate and made birdies on her first two holes to quickly move to 6-under, picking up another birdie on the fourth hole to get to 7-under. Khang then ripped off four straight birdies on holes six, seven, eight and nine to post a 29 on the front nine and climb to 11-under for the tournament.

Now sitting at 7-under for the round, Khang parred 10 and grabbed another birdie on the par-3 11th hole to move to 12-under total with just seven holes to go. She had a bit of a misstep on the par-3 15th hole, carding her only bogey of the day after failing to get up and down after missing the green with her tee shot, but she made a late recovery, finishing her round with back-to-back birdies on the par-5 17th and par-4 18th holes to post a 62 and vault from T18 to T3 with 18 holes left in Bradenton, Fla.”
