AMERICAN Stacy Lewis won the HSBC Women's Champions yesterday in Singapore for her sixth career LPGA title, overcoming two bogeys and some shaky putting on the back nine to hold off South Korean Na Yeon Choi.
Lewis, the 2012 LPGA Player of the Year, shot a 1-under 71 in the final round at Sentosa Golf Club to finish at 15-under 273, one stroke ahead of Choi.
"The last four or five holes, I was pretty nervous, I'm not going to lie," Lewis said. "I just played hard and put my head down and tried to make as many putts as I could and fortunately I came away with the win."
Choi, who had a 72, was runner-up at the US$1.4 million tournament for the second consecutive year. She lost to Angela Stanford in a four-player playoff last year.
Paula Creamer, hampered by a shoulder injury from a car accident last week in Thailand, briefly held a share of the lead early in the day, but struggled with her putting on the back nine and faded to third at 13-under 275.
Top-ranked Tseng Yani shot a 74 to finish a disappointing week in a share of 28th place.
In Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, US PGA Tour rookie Luke Guthrie and Michael Thompson survived the chilly, blustery conditions and shared the lead in the Honda Classic on Saturday.
They were at 8-under 202, and had to buckle down for what could be a wide open final round.
"I played smart, solid golf, stayed away from the trouble," Guthrie said. "Stayed to the strong side of pins, and if I missed, got it up-and-down."
Lee Westwood and Geoff Ogilvy were only two shots behind the leaders.
