EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Inbee Park of South Korea ended her four-year wait for a US LPGA Tour title when she hit a 6-under 66 Sunday to win the Evian Masters for the first time, beating veteran Karrie Webb and overnight co-leader Stacy Lewis by two shots. It was only Park's second win on the US LPGA circuit and the first since she became the youngest to win the women's US Open in 2008, when she was 19. Lewis, who shared the overnight lead with Park, found form late on but her superb long putt for eagle on the 18th came too late. Park nailed birdies on the last three holes amid a late charge from China's Shanshan Feng, whose round of 66 included an eagle on the 18th. Feng finished three strokes behind Park, tied for fourth with South Korean amateur Hyo Joo Kim (68) and American Natalie Gulbis (68). Feng's shot of the day drew a roar from the grandstand on the 18th when she chipped out of the bunker, the ball looped around in a semi-circle from right to left and then dropped in for an eagle. The pressure was on Park to respond, and she did, sinking a birdie on hole 16 to move 15-under overall. Her next tee shot was perfect, landing near the 17th flag, and gave her another birdie for a commanding 16-under. Garrigus grabs lead Robert Garrigus grabbed a one-shot lead as American players took a stranglehold on the Canadian Open after the third round in Ontario Saturday. Garrigus fired a six-under-par 64 to move to 16-under 194, one clear of William McGirt (66) and two in front of Scott Piercy (67). McGirt and Piercy had shared the lead overnight. American players made up the top 10 players on the leaderboard with former major winners Retief Goosen of South Africa (63) and Fijian Vijay Singh (69) the best of the international challengers, seven shots back. Garrigus carded four birdies and an eagle on a bogey-free day and promised to continue to attack Sunday as he searches for his second PGA Tour victory. Goosen rose 42 places into a tie for 11th with his seven-under round. Scott Stallings and Chris Kirk matched his 63 and share fourth spot with fellow American Bo Van Pelt (67) on 198. Kirk looked set to smash the course record of 62 at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club after getting to seven under through 10 holes but he parred the last eight. — Agencies
