Lee's Comeback: Wins LPGA Amidst Double Bogeys
8 Mar
Summary
- Mi-Hyang Lee secured her first LPGA win since 2017.
- She overcame two double bogeys in the final round.
- Zhang Weiwei finished second, one shot behind Lee.
Mi-Hyang Lee captured her first LPGA Tour title in over eight years at the Blue Bay LPGA on Sunday. The South Korean golfer carded a final round of 73 to finish one stroke ahead of China's Zhang Weiwei, who secured second place.
Lee's victory was hard-fought, as she navigated a challenging front nine that saw her commit two double bogeys. These costly errors initially allowed Zhang Weiwei to take the lead.
However, Lee demonstrated remarkable composure, finding her form after the turn with crucial birdies. A closing birdie on the 18th hole ultimately sealed her triumph, snatching the win from Zhang who had a costly bogey on the 17th.
Other notable finishes included Auston Kim and Aditi Ashok tying for third. Defending champion Rio Takeda was among a group tied for fifth place.
