Andrea Lee won the LPGA tour Portland Classic

The American golfer Andrea Lee won the LPGA tour Portland Classic. She finished at -19 and earned the first win of her LPGA Tour career.

“All the hard work has paid off. It’s been my dream to win on the LPGA Tour, and the fact that I accomplished that today is just pretty surreal. Some of the past champions (of the Portland Classic) are legends of the game… I’m extremely honored to join that list of names”, said Andrea Lee after the victory.

Andrea Lee, who owns the record for the most victories in the history of the Stanford women’s program (nine), proved, after a shaky season, that she can successfully make the jump from college to the pro ranks.

“My junior career and my amateur career have always been kind of smooth sailing I would say”, said Andrea Lee. “I kind of expected a lot out of myself coming into the LPGA and turning professional. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do really well off the bat. That wasn’t the case at all. 2020 was a decent year, but then 2021 was a struggle. I think I missed like my first 10 out of 13 cuts last year. I realized it is really difficult to win out here. Everyone is such a great player. I think every single player out here has the ability to win on the LPGA Tour”, added she.

Another big surprise was the second place of the Ecuador’s golfer Daniela Darquea, who was very close to victory and finished with -18. The third in the tournament was for Na Rin An (Republic of Korea) with -17.
