BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Carlota Ciganda birdied the final two holes to win the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour victory in more than 8 years, while Lexi Thompson had two late bogeys to dash her bid to end a long drought of her own.

When Carlota Ciganda approached the final putt of her day for a birdie on the 18th hole at Blythefield Country Club to essentially seal the 2025 Meijer LPGA Championship, she couldn’t help but think back to nine years before at the same place.

The 11th Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give concluded on June 16, crowning Carlota Ciganda as its 2025 champion. Tournament officials announced the event exceeded its goal for the Meijer Simply Give hunger relief program, raising $1.5 million to help stock the shelves of hundreds of food pantries across the Midwest.
