PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich -- Lexi Thompson trailed Lizette Salas by four shots entering the final round, but shot 65 to win the tournament by a stroke over Salas and Gerina Piller.

Thompson had a 3 shot lead after a birdie at 15, but a bogey and 17 and birdie from Salas at the same hole made the 72nd hole very interesting.

Salas missed a long birdie putt at 18 and Thompson two-putted for par and her first win in 2015.
