Ashleigh Buhai collected a $262,500 winner’s check for her victory at the ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway, New Jersey. The total purse this week of $1.75 million was almost as big as Buhai’s winner’s check at last year’s AIG Women’s British Open, which was $1,095,000.
Buhai joined Sally Little as the only South Africans to win multiple titles on the LPGA. Buhai has earned $740,919 this season and $4,352,359 in her career. Little, a 15-time winner on the LPGA, earned $1,538,989 in her career.
Overnight leader Dani Holmqvist, who hadn’t made a cut in five starts this season, birdied the last to finish tied for fourth and earn $81,847 for her first paycheck of the season.
Chiara Noja, 17, tied for 12th in her LPGA debut. The LET winner soon heads to prom back home in Dubai. Noja earned $29,995 in only her second start on American soil.
