Wei-Ling Hsu of Chinese Taipei made an eagle on the 15th hole to overtake playing partner Moriya Jutanugarn on the leaderboard and went on to win the Pure Silk Championship in Williamsburg, Va., for her first career LPGA Tour victory.
Jutanugarn, of Thailand, carded a double bogey on the same hole at the River Course at Kingsmill Resort. In one four-stroke swing, Hsu went from trailing Jutanugarn by two to leading her by the same margin.
Hsu birdied No. 16 for good measure and scored a final-round 68 to finish 13-under 271 (66-72-65-68). Jutanugarn took second at 11 under (71-67-65-70), and American Jessica Korda was alone in third at 10 under (70-67-67-70).
