SHIMA, Japan(AP) South Korea's Bo Bae Song won the Mizuno Classic for her first LPGA Tour title, closing with a 4-under 68 on Sunday for a three-stroke victory over Lorena Ochoa, Brittany Lang and Hee Young Park.

Song finished with a 15-under 201 total at Kintetsu Kashikojima and earned $210,000 in the event co-sanctioned by the Japan LPGA.

The top-ranked Ochoa shot a 64, and Lang and Park had 68s.

Jiyai Shin, the 2008 winner who is trying to hold off Ochoa in the player of the year points race, closed with a 69 to tie for fifth with Yani Tseng (67), Mi-Jeong Jeon (69) and Inbee Park (69) at 11 under.

Song had six birdies and a bogey - on the par-4 14th - in the final round. She opened with rounds of 68 and 65 to take a one-stroke lead into the final day.

Webb leads by 1 at Aussie Women's Open

MELBOURNE, Australia(AP) Four-time champion Karrie Webb shot a bogey-free 3-under 70 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead in the Women's Australian Open.Webb, the Australian star coming off her seventh Australian Ladies Masters title, had a 6-under 213 total on the Commonwealth Golf Club course.``It was really solid today, no bogeys,'' Webb said ``I hung tough when I needed to and made a couple of good pars coming in. It's the first time in a while I've played four weeks in a row, so I hope I've got one good round left in me.''Italy's Giulia Sergas, the second-round leader, bogeyed the final hole for a 75, leaving her a stroke behind Webb - the tournament winner in 2000, '02, '07 and '08.Defending champion Laura Davies was 4 under after a 71. The 46-year-old English star won the New Zealand Women's Open two weeks ago for her 73rd worldwide title.Australia's Katherine Hull (72) was 3 under, and Taiwan's Yani Tseng (72) and South Korea's Yang Soo-jin (75) were another stroke back.Last week at Royal Pines, Webb finished with a course-record 61 to win the Masters.``I still hope I have a special round tomorrow so I can hold that trophy,'' Webb said. ``I'd like to see the wind up like it is today to add to the challenge.''Both Davies and Hull had birdie putts lip out on 18. But Davies chipped in from off the green once and holed a bunker shot.``This course wears me out,'' Davies said. ``I haven't hit it particularly well off the tee, but it's tiring. But close to the lead is where you want to be.''
