It was the second victory of her LPGA Tour career.
“Last year, I won in Portland, and that, like, cannot imagine that I going to win in Portland because I miss cut like nine events and then Monday qualify and then won in Portland,” Wannasaen said afterward, via LPGA Tour’s website. “But this year, I’m start this year I’m looking for second trophy… I think the feeling is very different because Portland I feel like freedom; right now I’m feel like I’m going to looking for third trophy. Yeah, I think it’s coming.”
