France’s Celine Boutier rallied from a four-shot deficit on Sunday, making three birdies around the turn on her way to a five-under 66 for a one-shot victory over Arpichaya Yubol in the ShopRite LPGA as Ireland’s Lauren Walsh finished third.Soo Bin Joo, the 22-year-old South Korean going for her first LPGA Tour title, lost her four-shot lead at the turn and then fell behind for good on the 13th hole, the same hole where earlier Boutier had taken the lead with a 30-foot birdie putt.
Joo missed another fairway to the right into a clumpy lie, pitched back to the fairway, sent her wedge over the green with a front pin, chipped eight feet by the hole and missed the putt, taking a double bogey to fall three shots behind.
Boutier kept hitting solid shots, rarely getting in trouble. She missed a four-foot birdie putt on the final hole to post a nine-under overall score at the 54-hole event.”To have a chance to win today is definitely something very special,” said Boutier, the 32-year-old French player who won the same event five years ago.
