Webb wins in Arizona

Australian Karrie Webb has proven she is still one of the best golfers in the world in winning the J Golf Phoenix LPGA International in Arizona. Starting the day a shot behind Jiyai Shin, Webb hit the front with two birdies and an eagle in the space of four holes on the front nine. Back-to-back birdies on holes 10 and 11 all but guaranteed victory and a further birdie on the last made sure of it. Webb&aposs five-under-par 67 was the day&aposs best round and the second-best of the whole tournament, as she finished on 14-under two strokes clear of Shin. In-Kyung Kim came in third place on 11-under, with Yani Tseng and Suzann Pettersen equal fourth a further stroke back.
