Golf-Park claims three-stroke win in Texas

May 3 (Reuters - South Korean Park Inbee raced past her challengers with a final-round six-under 65 to win the North Texas Shootout by three shots on Sunday.

Park began the day tied with American Lexi Thompson, with three others just one stroke behind, but she vaulted in front with two early birdies and never looked back, finishing with a winning total of 15-under 269.

The victory was her second in the tournament in three years.

Park, the second-ranked player in the world entering the tournament, earned her second victory of the season to join compatriot Kim Sei-young and New Zealand's world number one Lydia Ko as the three players with multiple LPGA victories this season.
