International team wins Lexus Cup

SINGAPORE (AP) Christina Kim gave Annika Sorenstam a big victory in her second-to-last event before retiring, birdieing the par-5 18th Sunday for a halve and the deciding half-point for the International team in the Lexus Cup.

Kim's halve with Namika Omata in the last match to finish gave the Sorenstam-captained International team a 12 1/2-11 1/2 victory over Asia. The International side evened the series at 2-2 after losing the last two years.

"I'm amazed it came down to my match," Kim said. "To win for Annika's final Lexus Cup fills me with so much emotion."

Sorenstam won the opening match, waiting out a lightning delay to finish off Asian captain Se Ri Pak 3 and 2. Sorenstam will end her Hall of Fame career next week in the Ladies European Tour's Dubai Ladies Masters.
