Han wins weather-delayed Office Depot Championship

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. -- South Korea's Hee-Won Han completed a wire-to-wire victory over four days, shooting a 3-under 68 in the third round for a two-stroke win Monday in the 54-hole Office Depot Championship.

Han earned her fourth career LPGA title and first this year with a 201 total in the tour's first non-playoff Monday finish since 1999.

Han's compatriot, Soo-Yun Kang, finished second with a 5-under 66 for a 203 total. Scotland's Catriona Matthew was third at 205 after a 3-under 68.

Natalie Gulbis earned her sixth top-10 finish this year, shooting an even-par 71 to share fourth place with Karine Icher of France, who had 73 in the final round.

Han played the final 10 holes under sunny skies Monday after the third round was suspended by darkness Sunday, when she led by one through eight holes. Han started Monday with birdies on Nos. 9 and 10 to increase her lead. She also birdied the 496-yard 14th, the only par 5 on the back nine.

She flirted with a bogey on the 17th, when her par putt rimmed the back of the cup before falling in. She parred the 18th.

Two weeks ago, Han missed her second cut of the year at the Oklahoma stop. The tour took a week off, then she arrived at Donald Trump's lavish oceanfront course and shot a career-low 65 in the opening round.

Han kept a share of the lead with a second-round 68. She has eight top-10 finishes this year and earned $195,000 from the $1.3 million purse.

All 79 players who made the cut returned Monday to finish the event, being played for the first time at Trump National. Exceedingly slow play the first three days and a 3 1/2-hour delay because of dense fog Saturday plagued the tournament. The players also were cut off by darkness Saturday.

British Open champion Jeong Jang, playing in the final threesome with Han, finished six strokes back after a 3-over 74.

Two-time defending champion Annika Sorenstam never challenged, completing a 1-under 70 for a 209 total.

"I finished with a birdie on 18, so I think I'll leave this place with a smile," she said. "This was the first time I played in the morning. The greens were in great shape. It's too bad I only had four holes (to play)."

Rookie Paula Creamer shot her second straight 1-over 72 for a 212 total and 23rd-place finish.
