Suzann Pettersen hadn’t won an LPGA event since October 2013 when she entered the Manulife LPGA Classic. She broke that streak Sunday for her 15th career LPGA title.
Pettersen closed with a 3-under 69 in windy conditions for a one-stroke victory over Brittany Lang. Pettersen birdied two of her final three holes at Whistle Bear Golf Club, the first-year venue after three seasons at Grey Silo in Waterloo, to seal the deal. She finished 72 holes at 22 under.
Pettersen blasted out of a greenside bunker to 2 feet on the par-5 16th to set up a birdie that tied Lang for the lead, then hit a 5-iron to 8 feet for another birdie on the 191-yard, par-3 17th.
