Webb prevails with eagle-spiked rally

MANILA, Philippines - Karrie Webb rallied with an eagle-spiked three-under 68 and beat a fading Shanshan Feng of China by two to capture the ShopRIte LPGA Classic crown at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club in New Jersey Sunday.

Webb made her charge early with a birdie-eagle feat from No. 2 then went on to preserve her three-under card to post a 54-hole aggregate of 209, two clear off Feng, the second round leader who wilted under pressure and wavered with a closing 75 and a 211.

Korean Park Hee young matched par 71 to finish solo third at 212.

Jennifer Rosales birdied No. 17 to salvage a one-under 70 and a joint 18th place finish at 217.

Rosales went on a solid start at the front with two birdies but fumbled with bogeys on Nos. 13 and 16, needing to birdie the par-3 17th to finish with that 70 and jump from 49th for a top 20 finish. She took home $15,949 (P650,000).
