Sei Young Kim became the first player in LPGA Tour history to go lower than 30 under in a performance so dominant in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic that she now has the tour scoring records all to herself.
Kevin Na of Summerlin rode a hot putter to halt a winless streak of nearly seven years on the PGA Tour.

The proposed match play golf event between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in Las Vegas is focused on a fall date, according to a source close to the negotiations.
