Kim needed a birdie on the final hole to move into the four-way tie for second, while Fouch shot a closing 64 and Stupples had a 66 in her first Mother’s Day event as a mom.

Her son, Logan, was born April 21.

But the story was Sorenstam, who said this weekend she knew there were people that thought her best days were behind her. She also said she’d love to play her way back to No. 1.

She looked ready all day long en route to her 72nd career victory.

Jang, playing with a sore wrist that she said has bothered her for more than a year, made a 15-foot birdie putt on the fifth hole to get within two. Sorenstam promptly hit her approach on the par-4 sixth to within 12 feet and made it to restore the three-shot edge.

When Jang chipped in from 40 yards on the par-4 ninth, Sorenstam left her long birdie putt just short, but hit her approach to within a few feet on No. 10 for another birdie.

By then, it was all but over. Sorenstam made sure with three consecutive birdies beginning on the par-3 13th, then another by hitting it close on the par-3 17th.

She was all smiles while waiting on the tee at the par-4 18th hole, where she snap-hooked her drive into the water on Saturday, one of only two mistakes that hurt her all weekend.

Besides Sorenstam, the day was remarkable for several other players.

Katherine Hull, who started the day tied for 21st, made the first double-eagle of the year when she hit a 3-wood 229 yards on the par-5 seventh, part of a 64 that lifted her into sixth. The best round of her career also included a double bogey at the par-4 10th.

And Shi Hyun Ahn, whose first three rounds were 71, 71 and 72, tied the course record with a 63, making nine birdies and eight pars before a bogey on the par-4 ninth, her last hole.
