Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24

PRATTVILLE, Ala., Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Maria Hjorth birdied the 17th hole Sunday to seal a one-shot victory over Stacy Prammanasudh at the Navistar LPGA Classic in Prattville, Ala.
Hjorth shot a 5-under 67, to finish at 14-under 274 and claim her third LPGA title -- but only her first since 1999 when she won the SAFECO Classic and the Mizuno Classic.
Prammanasudh shot 1-under 71 Sunday.
Third-round leader and world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa shot 1-over 73 Sunday -- hurting her own cause with three-putt bogeys at the first and 18th holes. Ochoa finished at 12-under 276, tied for third with Angela Park, who climbed into contention Sunday with a course-record 63.
Hjorth earned $195,000 for the victory.
