Golf: Aussie Webb rallies to claim Founders Cup
This was Webb's second win of the year, and 41st of her career on the LPGA Tour.
PHOENIX (AFP) - Karrie Webb rolled in a half dozen birdies on her final eight holes as she came from behind to capture the LPGA Tour s Founders Cup on Sunday.
The 39-year-old Australian closed with a nine-under 63 to finish with a 19-under 269 and win this event for the second time in three years.
"I thought I would be in a playoff not standing here the winner," said Webb.
This was Webb s second win of the year, and 41st of her career on the LPGA Tour.
Last year s winner Stacy Lewis earned a share of second at 18-under by shooting a six-under 66 at the Wildlife Golf Club.
Lewis tied with Amy Yang (67), Azahara Munoz (67), Mirim Lee (69) and New Zealand s Lydia Ko (70).
Lee led after the first two rounds, while Ko was atop the leaderboard entering the final round.
The 23-year-old Lee was looking for the biggest win of her career after winning three times on the South Korean women s tour.
Thailand s Pornanong Phatlum (66), Jessica Korda (70) and Ryu So-Yeon (68) tied for seventh place at 17-under 271.
