MEXICAN LOPEZ WINS IN BLUE BAY FOR MAIDEN LPGA TITLE

HONG KONG: Gaby Lopez was unable to snare a second ace on China’s Hainan island on Saturday but rock solid golf in windy conditions gave the Mexican a one-shot victory at the Blue Bay LPGA for her first title on the elite women’s tour.Lopez celebrated her 25th birthday with a hole-in-one at the par-three 17th during the third round on Friday to help her to a one-shot lead over world number one Ariya Jutanugarn going into the final day. The world number 136 hit four back-nine birdies in a oneover-par 73 that proved enough to keep her Thai playing partner at arm’s length as she finished on eight-under 280 for the $2.1 million tournament.
