Lu fired a 1-under 71 — one of only four under-par rounds carded by the 61-player field on Sunday — to give her a four-round score of 7-under 281 for a two-shot victory over Miki Sakai and Momoko Ueda of Japan.
“The last day is always difficult, and today the course was playing tough, and it put a lot of pressure on the players,” she said. “I knew that if I could make pars, I would have a shot (at winning).”
And that she did, making 12 pars in her first 13 holes along with a birdie on the par-5 ninth. But her round started to get interesting at the par-4 14th. [FULL STORY]
