Lydia Ko shot a final-round 8-under 63 to win her first major at the 2015 Evian Championship. It's the first time in women's golf history that a champion has shot a final round that low. However, Ko's effort isn't the lowest round in women's major championship history. That honor belongs to 2014 Evian winner Hyo-Joo Kim.

Here's a look at the lowest rounds in women's major championship history:

ANA Inspiration (formerly Kraft Nabisco Championship)

62 - Lorena Ochoa, 2006, Mission Hills Golf Club, 1st round, finished 2nd (lost in a playoff)

KPMG Women's PGA Championship (formerly LPGA Championship)
