Annika Sorenstam bogeyed the final hole to finish one stroke behind.

Sorenstam put her second shot way right of the green and against a fence. After a ruling by USGA officials, the Swedish superstar was granted a drop but sent her third shot into a greenside bunker and missed a 15-footer for par.

Robbins shot a 2-under 69. She watched as Stanford made a 15-foot birdie at the 72nd hole to tie with a 3-over 74.

Lunke had a birdie putt to win, but her 14-footer was a little timid and came up short. She tapped in for a closing 75.
