Carlota Ciganda wins Meijer LPGA Classic for her first LPGA Tour victory in more than 8 1/2 years
Carlota Ciganda birdied the final two holes to win the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour victory in more than 8 1/2 years, while Lexi Thompson had two late bogeys to dash her bid to end a long drought of her own. Ciganda hit to a foot to set up her birdie on the par-4 17th, then made a 4-foot comebacker on the par-5 18th to avoid a playoff with playing partner Hye-Jin Choi. Ciganda shot a 5-under 67 — her fourth straight round in the 60s — to finish at 16-under 272. The 35-year-old Spanish player won for the first time since the 2016 Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Thompson had a 70 to tie for fourth.
