Karrie claims HSBC Women's Champions title

With her 37th LPGA Tour victory, Karrie Webb follows Annika Sorenstam as the second LPGA Tour player to pass $16m in career earnings.
The great Australian's last day back-nine charge, including six birdies in eight holes from 9 to 16, was enough for a fourth round score of -3 and victory by one stroke over Japan's Chie Arimura.
Arimura had led the field from Day 1 but could not follow Webb when she made her move, and back nine birdies on the 13th and 16th were cancelled out by bogeys on the 11th and 14th in a closing round of 71.
In third place, Taiwan's Yani Tseng made an early charge on Day 4 in the knowledge she would have to shoot low to continue her amazing winning streak.
Tseng was in contention after scoring -5 for the front nine, but a level par back nine including two birdies and two bogeys ended her challenge.
