Lucy Li has three Sunday eagles, shoots 60 at 2024 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship

Li made her third eagle of the round on the par-5 closing hole.

Lucy Li was even through six holes Sunday at Pinnacle Country Club during the final round of the LPGA’s Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Then she started making her move.

She birdied No. 7, holed out for eagle on the par-4 eighth, birdied the ninth to make the turn in 32. Back-to-back birdies on Nos. 10 and 11 got her to 12 under and then after a pair of pars, she made her second eagle of the day with a 3 on the par-5 14th. Another birdie on the 15th got her to 15 under and take the outright lead.

On 18, Li made her third eagle of the round on the par-5 closing hole by draining a 30-foot putt to fire a final-round 60 and take the clubhouse lead at 17 under.

Ten years ago, at age 11, Li became the youngest golfer to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Amateur and the U.S. Women’s Open.

Now at age 21, Li eyes her first LPGA win.

A U.S. player hasn’t won the Rookie of the Year Award since Paula Creamer in 2005.

This year’s rookie class of 26 players represents 12 countries, highlighting the global nature of the LPGA.

One of the most well-known rookies of the 2024 class is former U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Gabriela Ruffels, who many thought would be a veteran by now were it not for a paperwork error. The Aussie topped the Epson Tour’s money list to earn her card.

There are plenty of players who have won multiple titles on their home tours in this year’s class, including a teen from China.

The Class of 2024 includes only five Americans: Gurleen Kaur, Auston Kim, Kaitlin Milligan, Malia Nam and Gigi Still. A U.S. player hasn’t won the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year Award since Paula Creamer in 2005.
