Tseng hangs on for delayed LPGA win

PHOENIX, March 18 (UPI) -- Top-ranked Yani Tseng overcame weather delays and looming darkness Sunday to fire a 4-under-par 68 and eke out a one-stroke win at the LPGA Founders Cup.

Tseng collected birdies after two of the round's three rain delays -- on the 10th and 14th holes -- and followed up with another birdie on the 15th to establish the winning margin.
