JEJU, South Korea (AP) - Jee Young Lee of South Korea won her first LPGA Tour title Sunday, closing with a 1-over-par 73 for a three-shot victory in the CJ Nine Bridges Classic.
Lee led all three rounds and finished at 5-under 211 to easily beat Mi-Hyun Kim and Carin Koch. She refused to consider victory until she stood over a short par putt on the final hole.
"I never thought that I would win this tournament until the third shot of the 18th hole," Lee said. "I was so nervous, so I didn't know if I was going to make a mistake or not. I didn't want to think that I won until it was over."
