Annika Sorenstam captured her 11th US LPGA title of the year, holding off Australia's Rachel Teske to win the $1m ADT Tour Championship in Florida on Sunday.

The Swede fired a final-round four-under par 68 to finish 72 holes at 13-under par 275, three strokes ahead of Teske, who led after three rounds.

She was also six ahead of 2001 winner Karrie Webb of Australia at the showdown of the year's top 30 money winners.

Sorenstam's win total was the best LPGA title showing since Mickey Wright in 1964.

Counting victories in Europe and Australia, Sorenstam's 13 titles in 2002 matched Wright's all-time record 13-win season of 1963.

"I'm at a loss for words," Sorenstam said.

"I fought so hard this week. I wanted this so badly. I gave it all and now it feels wonderful."

Sorenstam finished the season with more than $2.8m in prize money to $1.7m from runner-up Pak Se Ri of South Korea.

Six birdies on the final day set up Sorenstam's victory.

"It seems like my long game has always been there for me and when I needed it, it came through for me," Sorenstam said.

Teske struggled at the last two holes to end her chances of catching up with Sorenstam.

France's Patricia Meunier-Lebouc was fourth at 282, one stroke ahead of Meg Mallon and Rosie Jones of the United States. Pak and Sweden's Carin Koch shared seventh at 285.
