Thailand’s Moriya Jutanugarn birdied four of her last seven holes to pull away from the field and win the Portland Classic on Sunday in Oregon.
Jutanugarn shot a final-round, 6-under-par 66 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, with her only bogey of the entire tournament coming at the 72nd hole. At 22-under 266, she finished two clear of Angel Yin (69), Russia’s Nataliya Guseva (68) and South Korea’s Narin An (66).
An jumped into the lead at 21 under by acing the par-3 16th hole. She could only follow up the dramatic hole-in-one with a par and a bogey, setting the clubhouse lead at 20 under before Jutanugarn rolled past her.
Jutanugarn, 30, began the day three strokes off the pace before following up her Saturday round of 64 by rocketing up the leaderboard, including three straight birdies at Nos. 12-14. The final of her seven birdies came at the par-4 17th to give her some breathing room.
It is Jutanugarn’s third LPGA victory and her first time in the winner’s circle at a non-team event since 2018.
Sofia Garcia of Paraguay (68), So Mi Lee of South Korea (69) and Polly Mack of Germany (70) tied for fifth at 19 under. Second-round leader Dewi Weber of the Netherlands shot a 72 and placed eighth at 18 under.
