Aussies On Tour: April 29
For the second week, two Australians were carrying silverware around the world, with Minjee Lee storming to victory on the LPGA Tour and the young cannon Maverick Antcliff who went back to back in China.
After winning on -16 last week with six shots, the young Queenslander again reached that point en route to a triumph with four shots for his second professional win in as many weeks.
In California, Lee extended her lead to no less than five in the final round, and with a lead of three shots in last place, the Western Australian finished in style.
Lee made birdie on par-3 18th for a four-branch win, her fifth LPGA Tour title and our #AussieOfTheWeek crown!
The 22-year-old can now probably move to number 2 on the world ranking if the ranking is updated tomorrow.
