Back nine of the championship game was heartbreaking and ugly.

Kerr lipstick on a footer for birdie at no. 10 10 and then players of half the 11th and 12th holes with bogies. Pettersen missed a 5 feet by Eve at the 11th to win the hole and Kerr has done the same in the next 4-foot hole.

Kerr had another chance to tie the game at no. 14, but his putt from 10 feet birdie burned the Cup.

Pettersen went 2 - up to the 15th by-4. Kerr has a right to his second shot, chipped to 10 feet past the hole and then missed the Save. Pettersen then extended the lead is a 5 for footer by.

Kerr agrees but Pettersen would not be denied.

Choi, who has never had 18 against Pettersen, who was shot 4 below to open a 5 - up lead over Stanford in the game of solace en route to 4-3 win which earned his $150,000. Stanford, which was to be disappointed after throwing a great chance to be Kerr beat No. 18 semi-final settles for $112 500.

Stanford, who finished second in the Sun Young Yoo last year, is going to have nightmares about his third shot to the 18th hole by-5, 515-yard.

Kerr square the match with a short birdie at no. 17, but his third-last hole sucked off the coast of the front of the green high.

Stanford hit his third shot on the Green and the error was compounded when he landed in a line of descent with mud in the ball. No. 18 seed, seeking a way to put the ball on the Green and considered all the angles before going to the PIN. However, the bullet out hot and rolled on the front of the elevated green, landing almost where the third shot of Kerr had ceased.

Kerr had hit his fourth 3 feet, so Stanford went at the PIN and the ball hit off the coast of the it. Kerr then took her by 5-foot putt to win the match.
