GALLOWAY, N.J. -- Linnea Strom shot a tournament-record 11-under 60 on Sunday to overcome a seven-stroke deficit and win the ShopRite LPGA Classic by a shot for her first LPGA Tour title.

After making the cut on the number Saturday, Strom teed off at 8:20 a.m. -- three hours, 40 minutes before the final group -- on the Bay Course at Seaview Resort.

Strom had an eagle -- chipping in from 15 feet on the par-5 ninth -- and nine birdies to get to 14-under 199. The 27-year-old Swede birdied the last three holes and four of the last five.
