Webb wins Women's Champions by 1 stroke

Australia’s Karrie Webb held off Japan’s Chie Arimura for a one-shot victory at the HSBC Women’s Champions on Sunday.

The 36-year-old Webb surged ahead of Arimura on the back nine with four straight birdies for a final round 69 and 13-under 275 for her 37th career LPGA tour win.

Arimura (71) was in front from the first round and had a one-stroke advantage over Webb going into the final round.

World No. 1 Yani Tseng of Taiwan (67) jumped into contention with five birdies on the front nine, but couldn’t keep up that pace and finished in third place, three shots off the winner with a 10-under 278.
