Wei-Ling Hsu was flying high Sunday.
The 26-year-old from Taiwan earned her first career victory at the LPGA Tour’s Pure Silk Championship, closing out the weekend with a 3-under 68 final round to finish at 13-under 271.
On the 15th, Hsu saw a generous bounce set her up for an eagle putt that would prove to be the difference maker, creating a four-shot swing and giving her a two-shot lead.
It's eagle time. 🦅

Hsu would win by two strokes over playing partner Moriya Jutanugarn, who double bogeyed on the 15th.
“At 15 … I thought about myself, that I’ve been waiting for seven years. I don’t want to wait anymore,” Hsu said, tearful on the green after securing the victory.
