Open Extended ReactionsBELMONT, Mich. -- Carlota Ciganda birdied the final two holes to win the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour victory in more than 8½ years, while Lexi Thompson had two late bogeys to dash her bid to end a long drought of her own.
Ciganda won for the first time since the 2016 Lorena Ochoa Invitational, a span of 8 years, 7 months, 2 days.
She has three LPGA Tour victories and has won eight times on the Ladies European Tour, the last in December in the Spanish Women's Open.
Thompson, the 2015 winner at Blythefield, won the last of her 11 LPGA Tour titles in early June 2019 at the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
The former Arizona State player is the oldest LPGA Tour winner since Eun-Hee Ji at 36 in the 2022 T-Mobile Match Play.
