NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Ally Ewing won the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play on Sunday on another long, hot afternoon at Shadow Creek, beating Sophia Popov, 2 and 1, for her second tour victory.
Ewing won the difficult par-4 14th with a birdie to take a 2-up lead and closed out her German rival with a double-bogey halve on the par-3 17th in the final event before the U.S. Women’s Open next week at Olympic in San Francisco.
“I feel like I was limping in really,” Ewing said. “Just kind of really got fatigued out there.
