TURNBERRY, Scotland — Karrie Webb's latest comeback established a new standard of excellence on the LPGA Tour: the Super Slam.
Webb shot a 6-under 66, rallying from three strokes behind to win her third Women's British Open title.
The 27-year-old Webb finished at 15-under 273, beating fellow Australian Michelle Ellis and Spain's Paula Marti by two strokes.
It was the sixth major championship in four years for Webb, who won the British Open in her rookie season of 1995 and again in 1997.
SENIOR 3M CHAMPIONSHIP: At Blaine, Minn., Hale Irwin, who lost in playoffs two of the last three weeks, shot a 4-under 68 and beat Hubert Green by three strokes in the 3M Championship, his tour-leading third senior victory of the year.
The bogey-free final round at the TPC of the Twin Cities gave Irwin a 12-under 204 total and the first-place check of $262,500. It also ended his five-month victory drought on the Senior PGA Tour. His last win was the Toshiba Senior Classic on March 10.
