Golf: Seon Hwa Lee wins NW Arkansas Championship

Associated Press

ROGERS, Ark. — Seon Hwa Lee birdied the final hole for a one-stroke victory over Jane Park and Meena Lee today in the LPGA Tour's NW Arkansas Championship.

Seon Hwa Lee closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 15-under 201.

Meena Lee (70) had a chance to tie on 18, but missed a 15-foot birdie putt.

Park shot a 62 and was tied for the lead when she came off the course. Because the other contenders were just making the turn, Park didn't expect her score to hold up. She ended up keeping the clubhouse lead until Seon Hwa Lee's birdie.
