OCALA, Fla. (AP) Ha Na Jang won her first LPGA Tour title by making a late birdie to take the lead and closing with an even-par 72 for a two-shot victory Saturday over Canadian teen Brooke Henderson.
Jang played the final 36 holes with Lydia Ko, but it was the No. 1 player in women's golf who buckled.
They were tied for the lead after finishing the third round in the morning. Ko dropped five shots in five holes, and only three late birdies kept her hopes alive. Ko closed with a 75 and finished three shots behind.
