PALM DESERT, Calif., Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Annika Sorenstam shot a 5-under 67 Sunday for an 18-under 270 to beat Grace Park and win the LPGA Samsung World Championship.
Sorenstamo won for the 54th time on the LPGA Tour.
Park held the lead after each of previous three rounds but her mistakes on the back nine opened the door for Sorenstam. The Korean had a 73 and took second place at 15-under 273.
Lorena Ochoa was two shots further back at 13-under 275.
Sorenstam was three behind Park to start the day.
"It seemed like all day Grace had a nice little lead," Sorenstam said. "I felt like I had a lot of chances, but really didn't make anything. Then I got a little extra adrenalin pumping."
Park got to 18-under with a birdie at the 12th, but she missed the green at the par-three 13th and found trouble again at the 17th.
