SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — Chanettee Wannasaen won the Dana Open for Children on Sunday for second LPGA Tour title, birdieing the final two holes to hold off Haeran Ryu by a stroke.
Three strokes ahead of playing partner Ryu entering the round, Wannasaen closed with a 4-under 67 to finish at 20-under 264 at Highland Meadows. The 20-year-old Thai player won the Portland Classic last year.
Ryu shot 65, also birdieing the final two holes. The South Korean player had six birdies and a bogey on the back nine.
Defending champion Linn Grant of Sweden and Ssu-Chia Cheng of Taiwan tied for third at 14 under, each shooting 68. China’s Xiyu “Janet” Lin (70) and Mary Liu (69) were 12 under. Lin was the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 15 in the world.
Stacy Lewis, the 39-year-old Texan who was born in nearby Toledo, shot 70 to tie for seventh at 10 under. She won the last of her 13 LPGA Tour titles in 2020.
