Australia's Karrie Webb used four straight birdies on the back nine Sunday to surge past Japan's Chie Arimura for a one-shot victory at the HSBC Women's Champions.
The 36-year-old Webb finished with a 3-under 69 for a 13-under 275 at Singapore's Tanah Merah Country Club for her 37th career LPGA tour win.
"I'm one ahead of my age," Webb said. "I kicked it in on the back nine. I got it done and it feels great."
Webb, who took home a winner's check of $210,000, was three strokes behind Arimura after a bogey on the 10th. But she started her string of birdies on the next hole to grab a lead she would never relinquish.
Arimura (71) had led from the first round and had a one-stroke advantage over Webb going into the final round. The 23-year-old Arimura, who has seven Japan LPGA victories, has yet to win an LPGA tournament.
