The score under par and the 72-hole score are LPGA Tour records. … Se Ri Pak was a five-time winner of the event. … This ends a run of 16 consecutiv­e LPGA events in the U.S. After a week off, the LPGA Tour goes to Britain for two weeks. … Kim and Brooke Henderson are the only LPGA players to have won at least one tournament in each of the last four seasons. … None of the three LPGA major champions this year — Pernilla Lindberg, Ariya Jutanugarn, Sung Hyun Park — is playing this week. … Even though she finished 11 shots behind, Emma Talley tied for third in Wisconsin and moved to No. 43 on the LPGA Tour money list. … Jessica Korda at No. 10 is the only American among the top 10 on the LPGA Tour money list. … The Marathon Classic dates to 1984.
