Pettersen claims Safeway Classic as Tseng collapses
Print Edition
Suzann Pettersen won the Safeway Classic for the second time in three years, taking advantage of playing partner Tseng Ya-ni’s final-round collapse at Columbia Edgewater in Portland, Oregon, on Sunday.
Three strokes behind leader Tseng entering the round, the third-ranked Pettersen closed with a 5-under 67 for a two-stroke victory over second-ranked Stacy Lewis.
Pettersen finished at 20-under 268 for her 12th LPGA Tour victory. She also won the LPGA Lotte in Hawaii in April and won a Ladies European Tour event in March in China. She won the 2011 tournament at Pumpkin Ridge.
“I felt like this was a good bounce back from last week when I kind of screwed it up on the last day,” said Pettersen, who last week finished eight strokes behind winner Lydia Ko in the Canadian Women’s Open.
Tseng followed her third-round 63 with a 78 to slip to ninth at 12 under. The Chinese Taipei star, a 15-time winner on the tour who had a 109-week run at No. 1 in the rankings, is winless in 37 events since the Kia Classic in March 2012.
American Lewis, a three-time winner this year, shot a 68.
