Saso ended eight strokes ahead of Korean Jin Young Ko, who dominated from start to finish at 266.

She proved that she is not a two-time LPGA of Japan champion for nothing as she recovered from an early double-bogey to finish with a one-under 70, catching Korean Jeongeun Lee6 at No. 4 overall at 10-under 274.

And even in the rain at Mountain Ridge, Saso got a double on the par-4 No. 6 but recovered with four birdies and a bogey the rest of the way to finish at 10-under par after previous rounds of 67-70-67.

Moreover, Saso with such feat finished her journey that placed her in 14th place in the Race to CME Globe rankings

The Fil-Japanese will receive a share in the $3-million and will bag Php 7-million.

On the other hand, Dottie Ardina, another Filipina on the field shot a final-round 69 to tie for 33rd place at three-under-par around five birdies, a bogey, and a double bogey, netting $17,756 (P900,000).
