The 21-year-old Californian saw her lead drop to a shot when rookie Shanshan Feng -- the first exempt player from China to play on the LPGA Tour -- pushed her with five birdies through the first 11 holes. But Feng fell back with three straight bogeys down the stretch.
ยท EUROPEAN PGA TOUR: Graeme McDowell won the Scottish Open with three straight birdies on the back nine for a 3-under 68 and a two-stroke victory at Loch Lomond in Luss, Scotland.
McDowell trailed Simon Khan by two shots until Khan double bogeyed the 12th. McDowell then birdied the next three holes to move ahead and went on to win with a total of 13-under 271.
Phil Mickelson, who had a 73 and finished 11 shots off the lead in a tie for 38th, said he knows he has work to do before the British Open.
