Jennifer Kupcho wins Meijer LPGA Classic
Simply Give is proud of Jennifer Kupcho's victory at the Meijer LPGA Classic. Although she missed a putt of two feet on the first hole, Kupcho recovered with birdies on each subsequent nine to claim the victory. Kupcho's second major LPGA title is her win.
Kupcho was now three shots behind overnight leader after making an early double bogey of the third. Her third shot fell in the right fairway, but she rebounded with a birdie on her par-5 eighth. Kupcho shot an impressive 71 on the final day and also made a birdie at the par-five eight hole. Maguire was ahead of her and shot 65. She also made a birdie at 18th for a clubhouse best of 18 under.
