CORNING (New York): South Korea's Jimin Kang aced the 15th hole just moments after a deflating bogey and shot a 6-under 66 on Sunday to win the LPGA Corning Classic, edging Annika Sorenstam and compatriot Meena Lee by two strokes for her first career U.S. LPGA title. Kang finished with a 15-under 273 and took home the winner's purse of $165,000, by far her biggest payday since joining the American women's tour in 2003. She became the seventh first-time winner in the tournament's 27-year history and denied Sorenstam her fifth victory in seven starts this year. "I still can't feel it," Kang said. "It's not coming yet. Hopefully, it's coming soon, when the check comes maybe." Sorenstam, ailing with a cold all week but still in the hunt for another win, made a late charge with three birdies over her final seven holes and finished with a 69. — AP
