Tammie Green held off defending champion Patty Sheehan to win the LPGA Rochester International by one stroke.
Green’s two-under-par 70 in the final round gave her a 72-hole total of 276, her third LPGA victory and the $75,000 winner’s check.
A double bogey on No. 2 wound up costing Sheehan her fourth Rochester title in five years. Sheehan went on to shoot a 68.
