South Korean golfer Kim Sei-young broke several Ladies Professional Golf Association(LPGA) records as she won her seventh career LPGA title.  

Kim won the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Oneida in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on Sunday local time with a final score of 31-under 257. 

The score ensured she broke the 72-hole scoring mark on the LPGA Tour of 27-under that was previously held by her and Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam.

Kim also became the first player in LPGA Tour history to get past 30 under, and also broke the record for fewest strokes made for 72 holes.   

Meanwhile, on the Professional Golfers Association(PGA) Tour, Korean American Kevin Na scored a six-under-64 for a five-stroke victory at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier in West Virginia on Sunday. It was his first title in seven years. 

The 34-year-old, who first entered the PGA Tour in 2004, had last won in Las Vegas in October 2011.
