GUADALAJARA, Mexico: South Korea's In-Kyung Kim won her third career LPGA title Sunday, firing an eight-under par 64 to capture the 1.1 million-dollar Lorena Ochoa Invitational by three strokes. Kim fired nine birdies against a lone bogey for her first triumph since last year's State Farm Classic to finish 72 holes on 19-under par 269 and leave Norway's Suzann Pettersen a runner-up for the sixth time in a winless season. After she opened with a birdie, Kim added another at the par-3 fifth and finished the front nine with four birdies in a row, including par-3s at six and eight and concluding with the par-5 ninth. Kim birdied the 11th and 15th to stretch her lead and answered her lone bogey at the par-3 17th with a birdie at the par-5 18th to capture the 220,000-dollar top prize. Kim donated her week's winnings to charity, notably the Lorena Ochoa Foundation run by the former world No. 1 golfer who is Kim's idol. France's Karine Icher was third on 273 after a final-round 68 with Americans Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer on 274 and Japan's Ai Miyazato sixth on 275. Miyazato moved into second place in the LPGA Player of the Year chase, only nine points behind leader Yani Tseng of Taiwan with up to 30 on offer at the LPGA Championship.
