Wie falters, Webb wins at LPGA's Evian Masters

Michelle Wie had a two-shot lead after 11 holes and seemed poised to answer all of the questions about when her first pro win was going to come.

Then the 16-year-old from Hawaii bogeyed the 13th hole.

That was all Karrie Webb needed.

The Australian star became the LPGA Tour's first three-time winner this season, shooting a 4-under 68 on Saturday for a one-stroke victory over Wie and 42-year-old Laura Davies in the Evian Masters in Evian, France. Wie closed with a 68, and Davies shot a 67.

Wie tied Webb for the lead with an eagle on the par-5 ninth, and took a two-shot lead after a birdie on the 11th, which Webb bogeyed.

The bogey on the 13th hole cost her.

She drove the ball into the bunker, and her next shot found the sand again. On her third stroke, Wie managed to get it onto the green, but her 30-foot putt went 6 inches left of the hole, leaving her in a three-way tie with Davies and Webb.

Webb, who birdied No. 12, took the lead for good with a birdie on the 14th and finished at 16-under 272. The Hall of Famer, who earned $450,000 to take the money lead with $1,647,433, also won the Kraft Nabisco Championship -- the first major of the LPGA Tour season -- and the Michelob Ultra Open.

Annika Sorenstam (70) finished eighth at 9 under.

Dalhousie Golf Club touring pro Karen Stupples fired a 73 Sunday and finished the tournament 1 over. She earned $21,690.

U.S. Bank Championship

Corey Pavin shot a 2-under 68 to take a two-stroke lead over Jerry Kelly in the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee.

Pavin birdied five holes but made his first three bogeys of the tournament to complete three rounds at 17-under 193 on the Brown Deer Park Golf Course.

Kelly, from Madison, Wis., shot a 64. Frank Lickliter (64) and D.J. Trahan (66) were 14 under, and Shaun Micheel (65), Billy Andrade (66) and Nathan Green (67) followed at 12 under.

The 46-year-old Pavin, who hasn't won on tour in 10 years, had to start off Saturday by playing seven holes to finish his second round at 64 and move to 15 under. He set a nine-hole PGA Tour record Thursday with a 26 on the par-34 front side and tied the record for lowest score in the first 36 holes of a PGA Tour event at 125.

Senior British Open

Loren Roberts shot a 1-under 69, the only score under par in the third round, to take a four-stroke lead in the Senior British Open in Turnberry, Scotland.

Roberts, who won the first three tournaments on the Champions Tour this season, overcame rainy and windy conditions to move closer to his first senior major title. He had an 11-under 199 total.

Argentina's Eduardo Romero, Roberts' nearest rival, missed a 5-foot par putt on the final hole to finish with a 73. He fell to 7 under for the tournament, two shots ahead of Tim Simpson (72), who is alone in third place at 5 under.
