Top-ranked Inbee Park wins LPGA Taiwan

Inbee Park won the LPGA Taiwan Championship on Sunday for her third victory of the year and 12th career title, holding off Stacy Lewis by two strokes at Miramar.

Six days after regaining the world No.1 from Lewis, the South Korean newlywed closed with a 1-under 71 in light rain to finish at 22-under 266.

Park opened with rounds of 64, 62 and 69 to take a four-stroke lead over Lewis and China’s Shanshan Feng into the final round. The second-ranked Lewis, also a three-time winner this year, shot a 69.

Park won the Manulife Financial LPGA in June in Canada and took the LPGA Championship in August for her fifth major title. Last year, she swept the first three majors and won six times.

Katherine Kirk was the best of the Australians in a share of 39th at three-under 285 after a final round 72.
