- Share via
Jan Stephenson fired a 4-under-par 68 Sunday to edge Nancy Lopez by a stroke and win the $225,000 Safeco tournament at Kent, Wash.
Last weekend, Lopez beat Stephenson by a stroke to win the Cellular One-Ping Championship in Portland, Ore.
Stephenson shot a 72-hole total of 277 and won $33,750.
Lopez started the day three shots behind the leaders and closed with a 67 to finish with 278.
Missie Berteotti, who shared the lead after the second and third rounds, shot a par 72 for 280 to finish third, the best she has done in her two years on the LPGA tour.
Heavy rain forced postponement of the final round of the $600,000 Greater Milwaukee Open, with Gary Hallberg, Dan Pohl, Wayne Levi and Bill Kratzert tied for the lead.
Officials hope to finish the tournament today at Franklin, Wis., despite a threat of more rain.
Hallberg, Pohl, Levi and Kratzert stood at 15-under-par, with Larry Ziegler one shot back.
Larry Mowry, a rookie qualifier, sank a 25-birdie putt on the final hole to win the $325,000 Crestar tournament, his first victory on the PGA Seniors Tour.
Mowry, who shot a 69 last Monday to qualify for the tournament, finished with a five-under-par 67 for a three-day total of 13-under 203. He finished one stroke ahead of Bob Charles and Gary Player.
