Anna Nordqvist overcame champion Inbee Park of South Korea to claim the LPGA Thailand title in Pattaya on Sunday.
Finishing out two strokes head of South Korea’s Inbee, Nordqvist’s win on the Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course with a final 68 for 15-under at 273 marked her first victory in five years
It was the Swede’s third LPGA title, an honor she hadn’t claimed since the LPGA Tour Championship in 2009.
“It’s been a while, but I’m just so happy to finally break through again,” Nordqvist told AP. “Inbee kept pushing me at the end. I just really had to stay strong. Had a rough first couple holes, but kept playing good on the back. Just unbelievable to get that win again.”
Scotland’s Catriona Matthew finished third at 277 and American Michelle Wie placed fourth, Associated Press reported.
