Danielle Kang completed back-to-back LPGA Tour triumphs with a one-shot victory at the Marathon Classic on Sunday after former world No.1 Lydia Ko suffered a dramatic late collapse.
Meanwhile, Dottie Ardina of the Philippines finished with a 4-under 67 to end up with a 278 and tied for 20th with four others at Highland Meadows in Sylvania, Ohio.Fellow Filipina Bianca Pagdanganan settled for an aggregate even par and a 6-way tie at 59th place.
Ko's stumble allowed Kang to sneak in and claim victory by one shot only a week after her win at last week's Drive On Championship in Toledo, the first LPGA event after a five-month COVID-19 hiatus. It was cruel finale for Ko, who had started steadily with two birdies and seven pars to reach the turn at two under for the day.
After both players parred the 15th, Kang closed to within one on the 16th when Ko was left with a long putt to save par that lipped out.
