Moriya Jutanugarn
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 14, 2012) -- Moriya Jutanugarn rallied in the final two rounds to outpace the field and her sister Ariya, claiming the 2012 Sally tournament title.
Trailing sister Ariya after two rounds, Moriya took the lead after Round 3 and hung on for a three-shot victory. Her 2-under, 70 was two shots better than Ariya, giving her enough breathing room for this important win. Ariya finished the four-day event 9-under.
Charley Hull finished third at 8-under.
The three top finishers were head and shoulders above the rest of the field. Fourth-place finisher Alex Stewart came in at 2-over for the event. Jaye Marie Green was 4-over.
