Clanton, Suwannapura duo shoot best-ball 59 to win LPGA's Dow Great Lakes in rout

Cydney Clanton missed retaining her LPGA status by a mere $8 last year.

With the help of Jasmine Suwannapura, she won’t have to worry about her final standing on this year’s money list. The duo teamed to shoot a better-ball 59 in Saturday's final round, and win the inaugural Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational in Midland, Mich.

Clanton and Suwannapura were each handed $241,269 checks after routing the field. Their 11-under 59 gave them a six-shot victory over Jin Young Ko and Minjee Lee, who teamed to shoot 58.

It’s Clanton’s first LPGA title, coming in her eighth year on tour.
