SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 7 (UPI) -- South Korea's Kim In-kyung made eight birdies Sunday en route to a 7-under-par 65 that gave her the LPGA State Farm Classic by one stroke.

Kim, 20, finished at 17-under 271 to edge fellow Korean Pak Se Ri by a shot for her second career LPGA Tour crown.

Pak, a 31-year-old Hall of Famer, birdied seven holes Sunday and shot a 66 for a 272.

Two more Koreans, Han Hee-won (65) and Lee Jee-young (66), tied for third at 15-under 273 with Angela Stanford (67).

Third round co-leader Cristie Kerr (70) was in a large group at 14-under 274.
