SUZANN PETTERSEN CLAIMS MANULIFE LPGA CLASSIC

​Suzann Pettersen won her 15th LPGA Tour title by going 22 under. She finished one shot ahead of 2012 inaugural Manulife LPGA Classic champion Brittany Lang. Pettersen was awarded the winner's cheque of $225,000.

Pettersen became the first European winner in the event's four-year history, and the inaugural winner at Whistle Bear Golf Club. She led both the second and third rounds earlier in the week, and in the final round played the front nine in 2-under and eagled 12 gaining momentum for two more birdies before sinking her final putt on the 18th green. This is Pettersen's first win in over a year and half and 34 starts. With this win, she is projected to move up five spots in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings from 10th to 5th.

Pettersen was the only player last week to make multiple eagles on the weekend. There were 12 weekend eagles – including Canadian Natalie Gleadall's third-round eagle on the par-4 13th hole – to bring the season total to 127.
