PITTSFORD, N.Y., June 22 (UPI) -- Rachel Teske joined exclusive company Sunday, winning for the second time in as many weeks at the Wegman's Rochester LPGA golf tournament.
The Aussie became just the third player since August 1996 to win consecutive events on the LPGA Tour twice, joining Annika Sorenstam and Se Ri Pak - the two best female golfers in the world.
Teske also won back-to-back events in 1999, when she was known as Rachel Hetherington.
Last week, Teske won a four-way playoff that included Sorenstam at the Giant Eagle LPGA Classic in Ohio. She led after each of the last three rounds this week to claim her eighth win in seven seasons.
Teske carried a four-stroke cushion into the final round. She finished with a 4-under-par 68. Her 11-under 277 total was the second-best 72-hole score at the event since 1994.
Rookie Lorena Ochoa of Mexico was second at 7-under 281.
