Karrie Webb’s tough LPGA win

Jun 03, 2013

AUSTRALIA’S Karrie Webb won her first LPGA Tour title in two years today, rallying from five shots down for a two-stroke victory over Shanshan Feng at the wind-whipped ShopRite LPGA Classic.
The 38-year-old Hall of Famer shot a magnificent 3-under 68 in blustery conditions to win for the 39th time on tour – the most victories among active players.
The Australian had a 4-under 209 on The Bay Course at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club.
Playing in wind gusting to 25 to 30 mph, Webb had two birdies, an eagle and a bogey, capping the round with a 5-foot birdie at the par-5 final hole. She also made six par-saving putts of 5-6 feet.
Feng, who led by three shots entering the final round, struggled in the wind and finished with a 75.
Hee Young Park was the only other player under par, finishing at 1 under after a 71.
