RUMFORD, R.I. (AP) -- Lucy Li won the Junior PGA Championship on Thursday at age 13, a year off LPGA Tour star Lexi Thompson's record in the event.

Li, from Redwood, California, closed with a 2-under 69 in hot and windy conditions at Wannamoisett for a two-stroke victory. She finished at 7-under 206 in the rain-shortened event.

''I didn't think I played all that good, but it was really windy today, and that made it tough,'' Li said. I'' am used to playing the in the wind, so that might have been an advantage for me.
