Australian teenager Minjee Lee has claimed her second LPGA Tour title in brilliant fashion, shooting an eight-under-par 64 final round to win the Lotte Championship by one shot.
The 19-year-old from Perth came from five shots back at the start of the day and played her final eight holes in six-under-par, including a chip in for an eagle on the par-5 13th, to triumph at 16-under 272 on the Ko Olina course in Hawaii.
Third-round leader Katie Burnett (70) and US Women's Open champion In Gee Chun (67) tied for second.
World No.17 Lee said her coach had reassured her the title was still up for grabs after she squandered a two-shot halfway lead with a third round 74, leaving her well back in sixth.
"Yesterday I spoke to my coach and he said 'You're only five back, just shoot eight under and you'll be fine,'" Lee told Golf Channel. "I just did all I could do and here I am."

Lee is in her second full season on the tour since turning pro in September 2014 and she's projected to rise to world No.12 following Saturday's win, having claimed her first LPGA win last May at the Kingsmill Championship.
She is only the fifth player in LPGA Tour history to capture multiple victories before her 20th birthday, joining a list which includes current world No.1 Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson, Marlene Hagge and Sandra Haynie.
"I haven't really thought about it that way," Lee said.
"I mean, as a player you're always harder on yourself. No, I know that I'm doing pretty good, so I'm trying to be even better every day. That's just my mindset.
"This is definitely a big confidence booster. The last couple of weeks I was there, but not quite. Now my game seems to be coming together and that's quite nice."
Lee made an 11-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th then got up-and-down for par on the par-4 18th, holing a six-foot putt.
Burnett lost a share of the lead with a three-putt bogey on the par-3 16th, then missed a six-foot birdie try on 17 and a long birdie putt on 18. Chun missed a 20-foot birdie try on 18.
