T. Johnson goes wire-to-wire in Senior LPGA

FRENCH LICK, Ind. — Trish Johnson completed a wire-to-wire victory Wednesday in the Senior LPGA Championship, closing with a 1-over 73 to beat Michelle Redman by three strokes in the first-year event.

Johnson finished at 4-under 212 on French Lick Resort’s Pete Dye Course and earned $90,000. The 51-year-old Englishwoman won the Legends Tour Championship last year at French Lick, beating Juli Inkster on the sixth hole of a playoff.

“I’m often asked what my favorite course in the world is and I always say St. Andrews, but I think this place has taken over,” Johnson said. “It feels fantastic. This is the reason you play golf to try and win something like this. It is going to be a very, very fun evening.”
