Sweden’s Nordqvist claims

Anna Nordqvist completed a two shot pillar-to-post win at the $1.5 million Honda LPGA Thailand tournament, holding off a dramatic late challenge from world number one Park In-Bee.

Scotland’s Catriona Matthew was two shots further back after a championship 277 (76-71-65-65), while America’s one-time teen star Michelle Wie rattled in three birdies and an eagle to finish with a 69 and 278 overall.

There was high drama at the 10th when Wie converted an eagle, while Nordqvist and Park sunk birdies.

Over the final three holes Nordqvist remained in control, finishing up with 15-under par, two clear of Park.
