Paula Reto got off to a stellar start and had to hang on to her lead, but she did just enough.
The 32-year-old South African shot a 5-under 31 on the front 9 of Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club to vault into a lead at the 2022 CP Women’s Open in Ottawa, Canada, and she held off a furious back-nine rally from Nelly Korda, Hye-Jin Choi and Lydia Ko, earning Reto her first LPGA victory. She finished at 4-under 67 for the day and 19 under for the tournament, beating Korda and Choi by one shot and Ko by two.
