The 25-year-old from Honolulu, whose father is Filipino and mother is Korean, finished 72 holes at Pebble Beach on nine-under 279 to defeat England’s Charley Hull, who fired a final-round 66. South Korean Shin Ji-yai shot a 68 for third place.
Corpuz had shared a major lead at the Chevron Championship earlier this year before settling for fourth, a hint of the promise she made real at the iconic California seaside course where such legends as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus have hoisted trophies. Hull sank a 30-foot birdie putt at the par-5 16th to pull within two on 6-under with Hataoka making bogey at 14 to fall back.
“Every few holes I just looked out and said I’m at Pebble Beach, there’s not many places that are better than this,” Corpuz said. “So really just tried to stay grounded and keep playing my game.”
