Ariya Jutanugarn Scores Second Consecutive Victory On LPGA Tour

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Ariya Jutanugarn shot a nearly mistake-free 4-under 67 and won the Kingsmill Championship by one shot on Sunday, her second consecutive victory on the LPGA Tour.

The 20-year-old, who became the first Thai winner in tour history two weeks ago in Alabama, gave up her lead briefly after an early bogey, but she played the final 16 holes in 5 under to keep at bay all the challengers needing her to falter. She finished with a 14-under 270 for four trips over Kingsmill's 6,347-yard River Course.

So Oh finished second after a closing 65, with Gerina Piller and Sei Young Kim sharing third, two shots back.

Jutanugarn, the third-round leader, immediately rebounded from a bogey on the par-3 second hole with back-to-back birdies and set the pace the rest of the way.
