Swede Strom's into record books with epic comeback

GALLOWAY, New Jersey — Linnea Strom shot a tournament-record 11-under 60 on Sunday, overcoming a seven-stroke deficit to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic by a shot for her first LPGA Tour title.

After making the cut on Saturday, Strom teed off at 8:20 am — three hours, 40 minutes before the final group — on the Bay Course at Seaview Resort.

Strom had an eagle — chipping in from 15 feet on the par-5 ninth- and nine birdies to get to 14-under 199. The 27-year-old Swede birdied the last three holes and four of the last five, finishing about 15 minutes before the final group teed off.
