Lexi Thompson wins LPGA Tour event in South Korea (The Associated Press)

INCHEON, South Korea (AP) -- Lexi Thompson broke out of a crowded pack Sunday to win the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship for her second victory of the year and sixth overall.

The 20-year-old American closed with a 3-under 69 to beat Taiwan's Yani Tseng and South Korea's Sung Hyun Park by a stroke. Thompson finished at 15-under 273 on Sky 72's Ocean Course.

Park shot a 71, and Tseng had a 68.

Lydia Ko missed a chance to take the top spot in the world from Inbee Park, finishing with a 72 that dropped her into a tie for fourth at 13 under with Amy Yang and Gerina Piller.
