Tseng captures 2nd major plum

-

RANCHO MIRAGE, California – Yani Tseng eagled the second hole and pulled ahead of a star-studded field with a four-under 68 to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship for her second major title on Sunday.

Tseng, of Taiwan, finished at 13-under 275 at Mission Hills to hold off Suzann Pettersen by one stroke. Two of Tseng’s three US LPGA Tour victories have been majors – she won the 2008 US LPGA Championship as a rookie, outlasting Maria Hjorth in a four-hole playoff.

Tseng started the day tied with Pettersen (69), one stroke behind Karen Stupples (78), but chipped in for eagle on the 521-yard, par-5 second. Stupples birdied No. 2, but Tseng took the lead with a birdie on the par-4 third that put her at 12 under.

Jennifer Rosales struggled with a 76 and finished in joint 72nd with a 300 total worth $4,043. - AP
