NORTON, Mass. -- Miranda Wang lost the lead to the No. 1 player in women's golf and then delivered the clutch shots over the final three holes for a 2-under 70 and a one-shot victory over Jeeno Thitikul on Sunday in the FM Championship for her first LPGA title.
Wang became the seventh LPGA rookie to win this year, extending a remarkable streak of no multiple winners through the tour's first 23 tournaments of the year.
"I hope this is the first of many, and I'll keep working hard," said Wang, the Chinese player who delivered the winning point when Duke won the NCAA team title in 2019. "This is a dream come true."
Thitikul, who took over the No. 1 ranking from Nelly Korda three weeks ago, was poised to end that streak and ruin Wang's hopes when the Thai hit wedge to 2 feet at No. 9
