Madelene Sagstrom rallied on the back nine with some remarkable recovery shots to hold off Lauren Coughlin 1-up and win the LPGA T-Mobile Match Play on Sunday at Shadow Creek.
Sagstrom edged ahead on the 16th hole to retake the lead, then made recoveries to par the final two holes and win for the second time on the LPGA Tour.
In the morning semifinals, Coughlin beat Ariya Jutanugarn 1-up, while Sagstrom handled American Angel Yin 4 and 2. Sagstrom also finished her quarterfinal against Celine Boutier, which had been halted by darkness Saturday night, winning on the 19th hole.
