WILMINGTON, Del. – Annika Sorenstam faced this kind of pressure at Colonial, only this time she didn’t miss the cut – she won a major.

Three weeks after testing her game on the PGA Tour, Sorenstam came up with clutch shots down the stretch Sunday and was flawless in the playoff, making a routine par on the toughest hole to beat Grace Park and win the LPGA Championship.

Sorenstam finished at 6-under 278 and earned $240,000 for winning her fifth major among 45 career victories.

Leading by four shots going into the final round at waterlogged DuPont Country Club, she closed with a 1-over 72 and had to make a par on No. 18 in regulation with a 7-wood from the first cut of rough just to get into a playoff.

Park closed with a 4-under 67. She came up short of the 18th green in the playoff and missed a 12-foot par putt that would have extended the playoff. Sorenstam, who hit a 6-iron into 20 feet, tapped in her par putt.

Sorenstam and Park were the only players who finished under par. Rosie Jones (71), Rachel Teske (71) and Beth Daniel (72) tied for third at even-par 284.
