Park holds her nerve
Grace Park
Park is up to third in the money list

South Korea's Grace Park sank a 20-foot putt at the final hole to claim the Michelob Light Open title in Williamsburg.

Park had never lost a tournament when leading going into the final round.

And she kept her nerve at the last to finish on nine under, one shot ahead of American Cristie Kerr, Karrie Webb of Australia and Mexican rookie Lorena Ochoa.

Park, who began the day with a one-stroke lead over Kerr, dropped four shots in her first four holes.

-7 Mi Hyun Kim (S Kor)
-6 Annika Sorenstam (Swe)

But she had runs of three straight birdies either side of the turn and finished with a level-par 71 to clinch her fourth career title.

The 24-year old, who had 21 birdies, an eagle, eight bogeys and three double-bogeys during her four rounds, jumped to third on the LPGA money list.

Kerr bogeyed the 15th and 16th holes on her way to a 71 and a share of second place.

Annika Sorenstam shot her third straight round of 70 and finished in sixth place on six under.
