Lauren Coughlin's shrewd shooting helped her to her victory at the CPKC Open in Canada on Sunday. It was her first victory on the LPGA Tour.
Lauren Coughlin picked up the first victory of her LPGA Tour career on Sunday when she held off Mao Saigo, Jenny Shin and Ryu Hae-ran at the Earl Grey Golf Club in Canada to win the CPKC Open. Coughlin’s birdie on the 16th hole helped her break a deadlock with Ryu, who missed a 3-foot par try to fall two shots back. Ryu couldn’t make it back on the 18th, and it was Coughlin’s tournament to win — and she did.
It was kind of a tweener of a club," Coughlin said of her decision on 17. "I could really only hit 6, and I needed to take some off it or else it might have gone over, especially considering how jacked up I was at the time. "But I hit it pretty perfect, and the putt, I thought it was almost going to stay out to the left there and just dove right at the last second. It was huge.
