Lee handed in a 70 (-2) card, to win one stroke ahead of Jessica Korda and two strokes over Jutanugarn, 13 strokes below par.
"Obviously because I win, I'm very happy right now," said Lee. “I knew going into the final round was going to be a good fight today, and I fought until the end. "
The 20-year-old Australian birdie in the 18th game to take over her two opponents from the final game, Jessica Korda and Ariya Jutanugarn. The Thai world number two sent her tee shot from 18 into the water and was finally content with third place two strokes behind Lee. Korda also birdied at 18th after missing an eagle putt and snatching the playoff. The American finished second at one stroke. With just four cards under the 70s on Sunday, the final round of the Blue Bay LPGA was tough for everyone. Tense week for the French Karine Icher and Joanna Klatten who finished 43rd and 46th, very far from the Australian Minjee Lee.
