Sorenstam leads team to Lexus Cup triumph

SINGAPORE: Christina Kim gave Annika Sorenstam a big victory in her second-to-last event before retiring, birdieing the par-5 18th yesterday for a halve and the deciding half-point for the International team in the Lexus Cup.

Kim's halve with Namika Omata in the last match to finish gave the Sorenstam-captained International team a 12 1/2-11 1/2 victory over Asia. The International side evened the series at 2-2 after losing the last two years.

"I'm amazed it came down to my match," Kim said. "To win for Annika's final Lexus Cup fills me with so much emotion."
