Kupcho wins 1st LPGA title in Mission Hills finale; Canada's Henderson finishes tied for 13th

Jennifer Kupcho took the last victory leap into Poppie's Pond late Sunday afternoon, ending the tournament best known as the Dinah Shore's half-century run at Mission Hills in the California desert.

Canada's Brooke Henderson finished tied for 13th, eight shots back after entering the day tied for fifth. The 24-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., closed out the tournament with a birdie on the 72nd hole.

Six strokes ahead entering the round, Kupcho shot a 2-over 74 for a two-stroke victory over Jessica Korda in The Chevron Championship. The 24-year-old from Colorado finished at 14-under 274 for her first LPGA Tour title.

The event that started in 1972 as the Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner's Circle and became a major in 1983 is moving to Houston next year after failing to attract a sponsor willing to keep it in the desert.
