The win changed everything for Wannasaen

Since getting her LPGA Tour card, the Thai golfer has competed in numerous tournaments. But regrettably, she frequently lacked a robust form. In more than 75% of them, she didn’t make the cut. Only three events — including the Portland Classic — saw her get to the weekend action.

Wannasaen had missed her previous eight cuts.

But now the tables have turned. She not only took home her first championship, but she also made a big mark on LPGA history. She tied for the second-most birdies or eagles over 72 holes in LPGA history with 30 during last week’s victory.
