NEW YORK - Jennifer Kupcho rolled in a birdie putt at the final hole for a one-shot victory over Lee Il-hee at the ShopRite Classic on June 8, capturing her first LPGA Tour title since 2022.
"It feels amazing," said Kupcho, a stellar amateur whose three LPGA titles in 2022 included a Major at the Chevron Championship.
"I struggled a lot early in the year and had a lot of tough weeks, a lot of hard conversations, and it feels good," added the 28-year-old American, who birdied three of the last five holes to seal the win with a five-under final round of 66.
Kupcho was one of four players to start the day one shot behind South Korea's Lee and she gained ground quickly with birdies at the second, third and fifth holes.
Bogeys at the sixth and 11th were sandwiched around a birdie at the ninth, and Kupcho came home strong with birdies at Nos. 14, 16 and 18 for a 15-under 198 total in the 54-hole event at the Seaview in Galloway, New Jersey.
