PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) Suzann Pettersen won the Safeway Classic for the second time in three years, taking advantage of playing partner Yani Tseng's final-round collapse Sunday at Columbia Edgewater.
Three strokes behind leader Tseng entering the round, the third-ranked Pettersen closed with a 5-under 67 for a two-stroke victory over second-ranked Stacy Lewis.
Pettersen finished at 20-under 268 for her 12th LPGA Tour victory. She also won the LPGA Lotte in Hawaii in April and won a Ladies European Tour event in March in China. She won the 2011 tournament at Pumpkin Ridge.
"I felt like this was a good bounce back from last week when I kind of screwed it up on the last day," said Pettersen, who last week finished eight strokes behind winner Lydia Ko in the Canadian Women's Open. "I tried to give myself chances. Once I got going I felt like I made a lot of clutch putts. The putter was a good friend of mine."
Tseng followed her third-round 63 with a 78 to slip to ninth at 12 under. The Taiwanese star, a 15-time winner on the tour who had a 109-week run at No. 1 in the world ranking, is winless in 37 events since the Kia Classic in March 2012.
