Lee’s happy birthday

AUSTRALIA’S Minjee Lee celebrated her 22nd birthday with a victory at the LPGA’s Volvik Championship in Michigan, a birdie on the final hole lifting her to a one-shot win over South Korean Kim In-kyung. Lee, who took a two-shot lead into the final round, fired a 4-under 68 for a 16-under total of 272.

A three-putt bogey at 17 had dropped her into a tie for the lead with Kim, who had capped her 67 with a tap-in birdie at the last for a 15-under 273. At Travis Pointe’s par-5 18th, Lee’s second shot landed just right of the green. She chipped to within three feet and drained the putt for her fourth LPGA victory and her first since 2016. Thai Moriya Jutanugarn, who carded a 7-under 65, was one shot behind Kim.
