Suzann Pettersen Successfully Defends Sunrise LPGA Championship

by Maura Hutchinson

Norway’s Suzann Pettersen is closing the gap between her and the number one player in the world, Inbee Park.  With a five-stroke victory at Sunday’s Sunrise LPGA Championship, number two Pettersen earned her fourth win of the 2013 season.
 
Going into the final round of Sunday, the Nike player held a comfortable four-stroke lead.  But a late run by Azahara Munoz closed the gap to just one.  Determined to defend her title, Pettersen rallied with birdies at the 13th and 14th to finish at an impressive 3-under 69.
 
Receiving well-deserved congratulation from fellow player Michelle Wie.
