After carding a final round of 66 at the 2022 HSBC Women’s World Golf Championship, Ko broke one of her own records. Which she earlier shared with Annika Sorenstam and So Yeon Ryu. With her final round of 66, Jin recorded her 15th consecutive round in the ’60s. What an amazing feeling it must be for the youngster to break one of her own records.

However, one of her other records also came to an end at the 2022 HSBC Women’s World Golf Championship. She hit the third green during the first round of the event. As a result, the hitting count for consecutive green hit reached 66. But after she missed the fourth green, ended the streak. Jins’ record of 66 is the target to beat both on the LPGA Tour as well as on the PGA Tour.
