Sunday, experience won over young talent.
HJORTH rallies to win the LPGA Classic Avnet for his fifth tour title, while Thompson to become the youngest winner bid collapsed in waterlogged water, stray shots.
Hjorth shot his second 5 straight-under 67 to finish at 10-under 278, two shots ahead of song-Hee Kim (71) on the crossings course at the Magnolia Grove of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail complex.
The old Thompson for 16 years, leading to equality with Kim entering the round, had a 78 to drop into a tie for 19th at the 1 as. Thompson has opened and closed with a bogey and double bogey after his ball in water on 14 and 15.
Na Yeon Choi (69) and Suzann Pettersen (70) finished three strokes back.
Thompson stirred in recognition of the position of loud applause from the Gallery on the final hole, but he walked off the coast with an expression agonizes over his face. His candidacy for the story took a sour turn, but she said nerves were not to blame.
"I just did not hit very solid," said the resident of Coral Springs, Florida. "My driver was not that bad but my irons not good.". I wasn't not trust just anything. I don't know why, because I was not even that nervous surprisingly.
"It was certainly (a learning experience)." I'm only 16, so I learn just each tournament. ?
Husband of Veterans Hjorth, Shaun McBride - who caddies normally on PGA Tour - manipulated his bag. She had four birdies in her six birdies on holes 3-7 for our move quickly to the lead. Also won Hjorth the LPGA Tour Championship season in 2010 and on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail event a few hours north of Prattville in 2007.
"I knew I had to just be patient," said Hjorth. "It is obvious that my goal going in I was trying to double digits (under the by), which is quite difficult to do." I thought it would be sufficient for a win, but it is clear that it was. ?
The 37-year old Swedish pocketed $195,000 for the victory and had McBride to celebrate with.
"He caddied for me full-time two years before we had our daughter (Emily, in 2009)," said Hjorth, who has donated $ 20,000 of its gains for the American Red Cross Alabama tornado relief efforts. "We have lost in the playoffs in LPGA Tour Championship of McDonald's, so it was great to have a whole victory." Just an off week like this and be able to get rid are really good. ?
She looked as no. 18 shot Kim approach entered the bunker, sealing the victory. Kim had an eagle on the hole 16 by-15 to move to 8 below.
"I knew that she was of 10 sub with 14, but I don't watch the dashboard after I had an eagle," said Kim. "I was just kind of play my game."
It was for a celebration slightly delayed for Hjorth because, as she has said, "Miracles happen."
"It could have punched on his shot," said Hjorth. "Is she hit her second shot that I knew I was going to win the tournament."
Thompson, at the same time, should be more likely to become the youngest winner of the LPGA tour. As plaisanté Hjorth, "I could all also was a MOM" in adolescence.
It still has two years to top Marlene Hagge, aged of 18 years, 14 days when she won the Open in Sarasota 18 holes. Hagge won two events of 18 holes to 18 years. Paula Creamer is the youngest winner of a condensed event, winning the 2005 Sybase classic in 18 years, 9 months, 17 days.
