PHOENIX -- When Karrie Webb was asked about the all the good young players on the LPGA Tour, the questioner noted that Lydia Ko was 16 and Jessica Korda 21.
John Obi Mikel Jersey UK . "Im not even that added up," the 39-year-old Australian replied. And to the Hall of Famers
surprise, when all the math was done Sunday in the JTBC Founders Cup, she was
the one posing for pictures with the big trophy. "I didnt expect to be sitting
here at the start of the day," Webb said. "Even, actually, when I finished the
day, I didnt expect to be sitting here. So I feel a little bit lucky, I guess,
to be sitting here. But it doesnt make it feel any less special." She took the
lead with a course-record 9-under 63, then waited 90 minutes to see if anyone
could catch her. No one did. "I thought best-case scenario I was in a playoff,"
Webb said. Webb is close friends with founding player Louise Suggs and has a
deep appreciation for the 13 women who started the LPGA Tour in 1950. "Its a
very special event," Webb said. For the second time in the event, Webb overcame
a six-stroke deficit in the final round. In 2011 in the inaugural tournament,
she finished with a 66 for a one-stroke victory. "I just love the feeling of
this event," Webb said. Webb donated $50,000 of her $225,000 check, giving
$25,000 each to LPGA-USGA Girls Golf and "The Founders" documentary movie. She
did an interview for the film this week and learned that only about 10 per cent
of the necessary money had been raised to complete the project. "I was just
standing on the 18th green when Mike (Whan, LPGA Tour commissioner) was
introducing me, and it just came to me that, You know, I would love to be a part
of that movie being produced." Webb talked Friday night with the 90-year-old
Suggs, a fixture at the tournament the last three years but unable to make it
this year. "She told me that I had to go out and shoot 64 yesterday, which I let
her down and I didnt do that," Webb said. "So, I made it up to her today." She
certainly did. Webb had 10 birdies and a bogey, playing the back nine in 6-under
30. She birdied five of the last six holes, making a birdie with a 20-footer on
the par-4 18th to finish at 19-under 269. "I definitely putted probably the best
I have all week," Webb said. "Worked on a few things last night and really got
the ball rolling on the back nine." Webb also rallied to win the Womens
Australian Open last month and has 41 LPGA Tour victories to match founding
player Babe Zaharias for 10th place. Ko, the third-round leader, parred the
final three holes to finish a stroke back along with 2013 winner Stacy Lewis,
Azahara Munoz, Amy Yang and Mirim Lee. The 16-year-old Ko shot 70. She had a
three-stroke lead after birdieing Nos. 2-5, slipped back with bogeys on Nos. 6,
9 and 11 and pulled within one with a birdie on the par-5 15th. "I tried to get
myself together," Ko said. "I made some bogeys at the wrong time, which wasnt
ideal, but I tried my best until the last." Munoz and Yang, playing together in
the third-to-last group, missed long birdie putts on 18 and each shot 67. Lee
shot 69 in the next group, also missing a long birdie try. That left Ko -- and
her 25-foot try on the last was just short and right. "I played really well
overall, so Im just going to take the positive out of it," Ko said. Lewis
birdied the final two holes for a 66. "It was just really nice to hit the shots
and make the putts at the end," Lewis said. "Seeing putts go in always helps
going into the next couple of weeks." DIVOTS: Korda, playing with Ko in the last
group, had a quadruple-bogey 8 on the par-4 seventh after hitting her approach
into the desert, then played the final 11 holes in 5 under to tie for seventh at
17 under. The Bahamas winner shot 70. ... Hee-Won Han also matched the course
record with a 63 to tie for 15th at 14 under. Playing in the ninth group of the
day, she holed a sand wedge for eagle on No. 7. Ai Miyazato set the course
record last year and Cristie Kerr matched it Saturday. Kerr finished with a 67
to tie for 10th at 16 under. ... Top-ranked Inbee Park closed with a 67 to tie
for 10th. Cesc Fabregas Jersey UK . - Henrik Samuelsson and Curtis Lazar each had two goals and two assists as the Edmonton Oil Kings
