PHOENIX, March 29 (UPI) -- Hall of Famer Karrie Webb of Australia shot a 5-under-par 67 Sunday and won the J Golf Phoenix LPGA International in Phoenix, her 36th victory on the tour.

Webb finished at 14-under-par 274 in her first win since 2006, when she claimed five titles.

Jiyai Shin (70) took second at 276 and In-Kyung Kim (70) was third at 277.

The 34-year-old Webb also won the Phoenix tournament in 1999.

Webb said she had wondered if she could still win on the tour.

"Even less than a month ago I was still questioning that," she said. "And I think watching certain players (win) ... it really isn't as far away as you think."
