At the Kroger Queen City Championship in Ohio, Lottie Ward overcame a double bogey in the middle of the round to win by two strokes and claim her second LPGA Tour title.
Ward entered the final day at Maketewa Country Club with a three-stroke lead and got off to a good start with two birdies in the first five holes, but he made a double bogey on the par-4 sixth hole and gave up Hopaw.
The British woman took advantage of the next par-5 hole, canceling a bogey on the 13th with a birdie on the 17th, and with a 1-under 69, held off her followers and recorded her first win of the season.

“Obviously, I’m very, very happy and grateful,” Ward said after the win. This match is definitely a little sweeter than the first match (ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open). Because I wasn’t expecting much of it. I’ve seen everyone do well this time, so I’m glad we won again. ”
