ANNA NORDQVIST WINS SHOPRITE LPGA CLASSIC

-
​Anna Nordqvist used back-to-back birdies from the 16th to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic by one shot over Christel Boeljon of the Netherlands and cap a happy Swedish Mother's Day on Sunday in Galloway, New Jersey.

Nordqvist came to the par-five 18th with a two-shot lead, thanks to a botched birdie putt from less than two feet by Boeljon, and won despite a bogey at the last. The Swede posted a two-under-par 69 for a 54-hole total of eight-under 205 on the Bay Course at the windy Stockton Seaview Hotel & Golf Club just inland from Atlantic City.

It was Nordqvist's fifth career LPGA victory and her third win in 15 months following victories last year at the Honda event in Thailand and in California's Kia Classic.

Boeljon, seeking her first LPGA win after three wins on the European tour, finished with a 68 for a combined 206. American Morgan Pressel, who lead by one shot after the first two rounds, wobbled with a bogey at the sixth followed by a double-bogey at the next to register a 73 and share third place with American rookie Kelly Shon (70) on five-under 208.
