PORTLAND, Ore.—Teenager Chanettee Wannasaen played a five-hole stretch in 6 under early in the final round Sunday and closed with a near-flawless 9–under 63 for a four-stroke victory at the Portland Classic to become the first Monday qualifier to win on the LPGA Tour since 2015.

“I’m really proud of myself because I really work hard for the trophy,” Wannasaen said.
