Mi-Hyang Lee captured her first LPGA Tour title in over eight years at the Blue Bay LPGA, overcoming two double bogeys on the front nine to win by one stroke. The South Korean finished with a final-round 73 at Jian Lake Blue Bay, ending an eight-year victory drought that stretched back to her 2017 Women's Scottish Open win.

Lee entered Sunday's final round with a three-shot lead but saw it evaporate after double bogeys at the par-four fifth and ninth holes. China's Zhang Weiwei briefly took the lead during Lee's struggles. The South Korean regained her composure on the back nine, making birdies at the 10th and 13th holes to stay within striking distance.

Zhang's bogey at the 17th opened the door for Lee, who sealed the victory with a birdie on the final hole. Auston Kim finished tied for third, continuing her strong form after a second-place finish in Singapore last week.
