WASHINGTON: Hsu Wei-Ling rode an eagle at the 15th hole to an emotional two-stroke victory in the Pure Silk Championship on Sunday, capturing a long-awaited first LPGA title. “I thought I wouldn’t cry,” said the 26-year-old, who indeed broke down in tears after a two-putt par at the final hole to seal the win. But the emotion had been building since her eagle at the par-five 15th, where her second shot kicked onto the green and she made the putt and suddenly find herself with a two-shot lead. Playing partner Moriya Jutanugarn –– who started the day tied with Hsu for the lead –– had arrived at 15 with a two-stroke lead, but the Thai found a fairway bunker with her second shot and ended up with a double bogey at the easiest hole on the Kingsmill Resort course in Williamsburg, Virginia.

History swirled all around Wei-Ling Hsu at the Pure Silk Championship presented by Visit Williamsburg, the colonial town founded in 1632. The River Course at the Kingsmill Resort is where Annika Sorenstam won the last of her 72 LPGA Tour titles. Moriya Jutanugarn and Jessica Korda, who already share a record with Sorenstam, were looking to add to their legacy. But Sunday belonged to Hsu.
