Jennifer Kupcho shot a 66 on Sunday to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic in New Jersey, picking up her first victory in three years. 

The American, who missed the cut at the US Women's Open, birdied the 18th hole to beat South Korea's Ilhee Lee by one shot.

It marked the first victory for Kupcho since her three-win 2022 season on the LPGA Tour.

In a highlight moment, Sei Young Kim aced the par-three, 76-yard 17th hole - the shortest hole on tour this year - on her way to a 65, the best round of the soggy day. Kim closed alone in third place at 12 under par.

"So I took a 56, my wedge, and I try to hit. It is a little bit downwind so I try to pitch it to the front edge. I hit the right number and I saw the bounce, one, and in," Kim said.

"I was like, wow. My skin everywhere was goosebumps."
