Round 1, Round 2




Austin Ernst closed with an 8-under 63 on Sunday to win her second LPGA Tour title agains Anna Nordqvist by two strokes.


She started her round four behind overnight leader Nordqvist but played the best round of the day making ten birdies and two bogeys. She joins Stacy Lewis as the only American winners of the tournament.

"I knew I needed a really low score," she said. "I kind of thought at the beginning of the week that 20 under would win and I think that's what I got to, so guess I was right on that one. But you knew that out here you needed to attack and you couldn't be afraid and couldn't just kind of middle-the-green it all day."



Ernst had not won in 144 starts since the 2014 Portland Classic.

"It was long. A lot longer than I thought it would be. Oh, man, it feels good. I have worked really hard. I think this break was fantastic for me. Helped get my confidence back. I had a rough year last year. I played so well in 2018, and, man, just feels so good right now."

"I think what's kind of held me back in the past is I won't hit as many fairways and don't make quite as many putts, and today I hit the ball really well, really being under the gun all day," Ernst said. "Just I'm proud of all the hard work, and it's nice to see it pay off."
