England’s Bronte Law won her first title on the LPGA Tour with a two-shot victory at the Pure Silk Championship in Williamsburg, Virginia and has climbed 17 places to 24th on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, just behind Georgia Hall and Charley Hull.
Law, 24, made five birdies and one bogey in a final-round 67 to finish 17 under, having held a share of the lead throughout the tournament.
Sweden’s Madelene Sagstrom, Canada’s Brooke Henderson and Japan’s Nasa Hataoka tied for second on 15 under.
“It was a grind,” said Law, who played for Great Britain and Ireland in the 2014 Curtis Cup and was a star at UCLA.
It also provided a timely boost leading up to the U.S. Women’s Open this week in Charleston, South Carolina.
