Golf-Park swats away challengers to win in Mexico

Nov 15 (Reuters) - Park In-bee powered to her fifth LPGA victory of the season after firing an eight-under-par 64 to capture the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico City by three strokes on Sunday.

It was a dominant performance for the South Korean, who finished at 18-under-par in her first appearance since withdrawing in China two weeks ago because of a cyst on a finger.

Spain's Carlota Ciganda shot a nine-under-par 63 to finish second at 15-under, while Kim Sei-young was third at 13-under.

Park began the day with a three-stroke lead over compatriot Kim but saw her edge trimmed to just one after the second hole.
