Leading by one on the 18th tee, Tseng drove into a bunker and was just off the green in three, then holed her par putt for a closing 73 and a one-stroke win.

Katherine Hull, four behind entering the final round, birdied the 2nd and 3rd but lipped out for birdie at the 17th and missed a 20-foot birdie try at the 18th to finish one back.
