WASHINGTON - Katherine Kirk birdied the final hole to edge Ashleigh Buhai by one stroke and claim her third LPGA tour title at the Thornberry Creek Classic in Wisconsin on Sunday.
Australia's Kirk went into the final round with a four-shot lead over South Africa's Buhai and had the LPGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record in her sights.
She nabbed six birdies en route to a 70, and while her 22-under total of 266 didn't threaten the scoring record of 27-under, it was enough to hold off Buhai.
