Tseng wins Women's British Open

Yani Tseng of Taiwan made a 6-foot putt on the 18th hole Sunday to win the Women's British Open by one stroke over Katherine Hull of Australia. It was the 21-year-old Tseng's third major title and second of the year to go along with the Kraft Nabisco. She has four LPGA victories overall, having won the 2008 LPGA Championship and 2009 Corning Classic. Hull came into the round trailing by four strokes but trailed by just one heading into the 18th. But she missed a 20-foot birdie attempt and had to settle for a 70, and Tseng made her par putt to shoot 73 and total 11-under 277 at Royal Birkdale.
