ROGERS, Ark. — Na Yeon Choi eagled the par-4 16th hole from the fairway to take the lead and won the NW Arkansas Championship by two strokes Sunday for her ninth LPGA Tour title.
Choi closed with a 2-under 69 to finish at 15-under 198 at Pinnacle Country Club.
Choi's 8-iron from 142 yards on the 16th one-hopped into the hole to give her a one-shot lead over Stacy Lewis, the defending champion and local favorite. The South Korean player followed with another 8-iron to a foot on the par-3 17th, and closed with a par.
Choi also won the season-opening Coates Golf Championship in Florida.
