The 20-year-old, straight-hitting South Korean went into the final round with the idea that it was her tournament to lose and she went out
and won it. Oh shot 2-under 70 on a raw, cold, windy day — the second best final round — and benefited from a couple of mistakes by Pettersen on the back nine to capture the $2 million event by four shots with a 14-under total. It was her second win on the LPGA Tour, coming less than a year after winning the State Farm Classic in Illinois. “I really wanted (this win) badly and there was no way I wasn’t going to get it,” Oh said. Oh started the round tied with Pettersen for the lead with Lincicome one shot back, and Wie and Creamer three behind. Wie, the 19-year-old phenom who is still seeking her first LPGA win, and Creamer never challenged. Both hit into the water on the par-5 fifth hole, and Wie did it again in taking a double bogey at No. 12. They finished tied for third at 8-under. Three-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa, who was trying to join Annika Sorenstam and Laura Davies as the only LPGA players to win an event four straight years, finished at 1-under.
