South Korean Ha Na Jang has won her first LPGA Tour title, claiming the Coates Golf Championship by two shots in Florida.

Jang had a final even-par round to finish at 11 under with Canadian teenager Brooke Henderson in outright second.

South Korea's In Gee Chun and Sei Young Kim tied third at eight under along with New Zealand world No.1 Lydia Ko.

"It's amazing how I feel right now," said the 23-year-old Jang, who was in tears after making a birdie on the final hole that only affected the winning margin.

Minjee Lee was the best-placed Australian at one over in a tie for 40th.
