Ariya continues LPGA hot streak with four-shot win in Canada (Reuters)

(Reuters) - Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn notched her fifth victory inside four months when she powered to a four-stroke triumph at the Canadian Women's Open in Alberta on Sunday.

Nine days after a knee injury forced her to withdraw during the Rio Olympics, the 20-year-old carded a closing 66, punctuating her dominant performance with a six-foot birdie at the last at the Priddis Greens course in Calgary.

Ariya, who started the day with a two-shot lead over Chun In-gee, credited her recent success to a newfound calmness on the course.

"No matter what's going to happen, I can handle it," she said after finishing at 23-under 265.
