Lea Jansen finished her singles career with another medal Sunday at the Seattle Open.
Not surprising. She’s the second-most prolific singles winner in PPA history.
Jansen wrapped her singles play with a silver medal at Seattle. It was her 27th singles medal in all, second behind Anna Leigh Waters who has 31.
This season, Jansen didn’t win gold in singles, but she earned seven silvers and two bronzes. Her nine this year are second only to Waters, who has 10.
