Hurst claims Safeway title

Pat Hurst shot a final round 4-under 68 and held off Jeong Jang to win the Safeway Classic.

Hurst finished with a 10-under 206 on the par-72, 6,327 course near Portland (Ore.) International Airport.

Jang missed an 18-foot-birdie putt on the par-4 No. 18 hole that would have forced a playoff. Jang finished with a 70 for a 9-under 207, along with Kim Saiki, who shot a 67.

It was Hurst's fifth victory on the LPGA Tour and first since last year's State Farm Classic.
