Friberg Wins MasterCard |
|
Louise Friberg won her first LPGA Tour title in only her fourth career start. The Swede closed with a 7-under 65 for one-stroke victory over Taiwan's Yani Tseng in the MasterCard Classic. The event was held in Huxquilucan, Mexico.
A 2003 University of Washington graduate, Friberg, 10 strokes behind Ji-Young Oh on Sunday morning, fired an eagle, six birdies and a bogey en route shooting the best score in the final round by three strokes. Tseng finished with a 74.
Friberg finished at 6-under 210 on the Bosque Real course and took home $195,000. Jane Park (70) and Jill McGill tied for third at 4 under, and Pat Hurst (72), Na Yeon Choi (73) and Eva Dahllof (74) followed at 3 under. Oh closed with a 79 to match top-ranked Mexican star Lorena Ochoa (68) at 2 under.
