PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) -- Eun Jeong Seong rallied to beat Andrea Lee 4 and 2 on Saturday in the U.S. Girls' Junior to become the first player to successfully defend the title since Hollis Stacy in 1971.
The 16-year-old South Korean overcame an early five-hole deficit to join Stacy (1969, '70, '71), Judy Eller (1957 and '58) and Nancy Lopez (1972 and '74) as the only multiple winners. Admitting that she had not heard of Stacy, Seong noted, ''My mom was born in 1971.''
Seong won last year in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
''It's a little bit different feel than last year,'' Seong said.
