PRATTVILLE: Hur Mi-Jung fired a six-under par 66 to win the LPGA Yokohama Tire Classic Sunday, holding off a final-round charge from world No.1 Stacy Lewis.

The 24-year-old South Korean Hur won by four strokes over runner-up Lewis, who had captured this event the last time it was held in 2012.

Hur, who is ranked 94th in the world, finished at a record 21-under par 267 and snapped a five-year victory drought on the LPGA Tour with her second win on the US-based circuit.

“I have been struggling for five years but now I have another win so I am happy,” Hur said. “The last two weeks I started to get my confidence back and that is why I had a great time this week.” American Lewis also closed with a 66 as she took second place with a 17-under total of 271 at the Capitol Hill Golf Club course.

Rookie Paula Reto, who was the co-leader after the third round with Hur, stumbled to a one-over 73. South Africa’s Reto took third place at 14-under-par 274.

Hur’s 267 total beat the prior tournament record of 269, which was set in 2010 by Australian Katherine Hull-Kirk.

She finished strong Sunday, making birdie on three of her final six holes. She made seven birdies in her round.

Hur said it is never easy to go through a major swing change, which she has been trying to do for the past few years.

“I worked really hard after I struggled with my swing change. I knew I could win again,” she said.

Lewis entered the final round four shots adrift of the leaders. She rolled in four birdies on her first eight holes but couldn’t make up any more ground on the back nine.

“I gave myself a great chance, I just couldn’t get any putts to fall,” Lewis said. “It was little frustrating. MJ played some great golf.

“It was one of the best ball-striking rounds I have had in a long time.” Reto posted her best finish on the tour after missing 11 cuts in 18 starts heading into this event.

Reto started golf late. She grew up playing field hockey and running track in her native South Africa before taking up golf after her family moved to Florida when she was 16.

She drained a birdie on the 10th but made bogey on the next two holes before closing with six straight pars.

American Kris Tamulis posted a two-under 70 in the final round and she ended alone in fourth at 13-under 275.

England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff (65) and Thailand’s Moriya Jutanugarn (68) shared fifth on 276.

Goydos triumphs

In Kapolei, Hawaii, Paul Goydos won the Hawaii Championship on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, breaking out of a tight pack with four straight birdies.

Making his fifth start on the tour since turning 50 in June, Goydos closed with a 4-under 68 at Kapolei Golf Club for a tournament-record 19-under 197 total. He opened with rounds of 66 and 63 for a share of the second-round lead with Fred Funk.

“I think I used what I’ve learned today,” Goydos said. “I’m making progress, which I’m pleased with. I didn’t play well on the PGA Tour this year. Happy held it together. Handled adversity well.” Funk finished with a 69 to tie for second with Scott Dunlap. The 58-year-old Funk had a hole-in-one on No. 16, using a 4-hybrid on the 200-yard hole. Dunlap shot a 65.

Goydos started the birdie run with a 6-footer on the par-5 14th, then hit a 140-yard shot to within an inch of the hole on the 15th, holed a 15-footer on the 16th and made a 6-footer on the 17th. The American then had to scramble for bogey on the par-4 18th after flying his approach over the green.

Goydos won twice on the US PGA Tour, the last time at the 2007 Sony Open in Hawaii.

“I love it over,” he said. “It’s a great place to play golf.” He broke the tournament record of 14-under 202 set by Willie Wood in 2012 in the inaugural event.

Davis Love III struggled in his Champions Tour debut, closing with a 72 to tie for 64th in the 81-man field. The 20-time PGA Tour winner turned 50 in April.
