Juliana Hung Breaks Scoring Record and Captures First Epson Tour Win
Just when you thought Juliana Hung had broken all the records at the IOA Championship, she broke two more during her final round. Hung is playing in her sixth Epson Tour event and now has a piece of history to go along with her trophy.
The 22-year-old broke the Epson Tour 54-hole scoring record set in 2019 by Fernanda Lira and later matched by Alexa Pano in 2022 and Gabi Ruffels in 2023 at 19-under par. Hung turned in rounds of 64-64-67 to beat the record by two shots, at 21-under total. She also shattered the IOA Championship scoring record by 7-shots on the way to her first career Epson Tour victory, a record that stood since 2013.
“My friends were telling me that the lowest score is 18 under on Epson and they told me to try and break it,” said Hung. “I wasn’t really thinking about it. You can’t really think of the result so much. You just have to focus on what you’re doing and I’m just glad that is what I did all week.”
However, the day started a little different than her score might indicate. Hung started steady making two pars in her first two holes before making her highest score of the tournament on the third hole. A double bogey on her third hole of the day resulted in a six going on her scorecard for the first time all week. A moment that would rattle many players did not affect the rookie. On the next hole, Hung rolled in an eagle to get the two strokes back immediately, showing the field and everyone watching that this was her tournament to win. A birdie later on the front nine resulted in Hung making the turn with a 1-under 35, but the back nine is where she has really dominated the first two days, and today was another example of why.
