**Randall Mell on the records Yang tied.
Yang’s nine consecutive birdies equaled Hall of Famer Beth Daniel’s record for most birdies in a row in an LPGA event. Daniel set the mark in the second round of the Phillips Invitational in Austin, Texas, in 1999. Yang’s 27 on the back nine also equaled the record for the lowest nine-hole score in an LPGA event.
