Yani Tseng overtakes Michelle Wie to win Arkansas tournament – Tours & News – Golf.com.
Yani Tseng was as amazed as anyone during Michelle Wie’s torrid stretch early in the weekend, when Wie shot a 28 for nine holes to take command at the Northwest Arkansas Championship.
Just over 24 hours later, Tseng was the tournament’s champion – after rallying to beat Wie by a stroke.
"She’s just so good," Tseng said. "I just really play, one shot at a time, but if I don’t make lots of birdies today, I couldn’t win."
Tseng made four birdies in a crucial five-hole stretch on the back nine en route to a 6-under 65 on Sunday that gave her a third LPGA Tour victory of the year. Tseng, from Taiwan, held off Wie when both players made birdies on No. 18.
