Mi Hyang Lee rallied from two front-nine double bogeys to clinch the Blue Bay LPGA by one stroke on Sunday and win her first Tour title win in over eight years.
The South Korean carded a final-round 73 to finish on 11 under, one shot ahead of China's Zhang Weiwei at Jian Lake Blue Bay.
It was Lee's first LPGA Tour title since the Women's Scottish Open in 2017 where she putted a birdie on the final hole to seal a one-shot win.

Lee's three-shot lead coming into Sunday's final round evaporated on a tumultuous front nine with double-bogeys at the par-four fifth and ninth which saw the South Korean surrender the lead to Zhang.
But after the turn Lee found her rhythm and made birdies at the 10th and 13th to keep in touch with the Chinese player, before Zhang's bogey at the 17th opened the door for Lee, who made birdie at the 18th to snatch back the win.
