CANADIAN LAKES, Mich. – Former Duke women’s golf standout Yu Liu chipped in for birdie on hole 15 and held on tight for her first Symetra Tour win at the Tullymore Classic on Sunday. Liu is just the third player from China to win on the Symetra Tour joining Yueer Cindy Feng (2014) and Hong Mei Yang (2004).
Liu, who helped lead Duke to the 2014 National Championship, carded a four-under-par, 68, Sunday to come from two shots off the lead to narrowly edge Sophia Popov, Lindsey Weaver and Jessica Welch, who tied for second.
“It is amazing, the first win was really tough,” commented Liu.
