INCHEON, South Korea : South Korea's Choi Na-Yeon fired a final round 67 to win the USLPGA Hana Bank Kolon Championship on Sunday by a stroke from Taiwan's Yani Tseng and Sweden's Maria Hjorth.
Choi, runner-up to Tseng as Rookie of the Year in 2008, closed it out to take the 255,000 US dollars winners' cheque, sinking five birdies for her first win on the LPGA Tour since joining.
Fellow Korean Ran Hong was four shots back in third while Kim Song-Hee was fourth and Shin Jiyai fifth.
But it was a tournament to forget for Mexican world number one Lorena Ochoa, who ended at six-over-par and a massive 16 shots behind the winner.
Defending champion Candie Kung of Taiwan also had a horror weekend, finishing alongside Ochoa. - AFP/ms
