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 1/2 years, while Lexi Thompson had two late bogeys to dash her bid to end a long drought of her own.

Lexi Thompson held a share of the lead on Sunday when she made the turn at the Meijer LPGA Classic but couldn't close from there.

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.
