Stanford claims second LPGA title

Angela Stanford finished 11 under par to win the inaugural Bell Micro LPGA Classic by one stroke in Alabama yesterday.

The 30-year-old American led by four shots going into the final day at Magnolia Grove and sealed the second LPGA title of her career with a final round including four birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey.

Chinese teenager Shanshan Feng birdied the 18th hole to card a closing 68 and take second place in Mobile, with US player Kim Hall a further two strokes behind in third.

"I''m more relieved than excited. I''m just relieved that I did it again," Stanford said afterwards.

The Texas-born player claimed the first professional victory of her career in 2003, when she won the ShopRite LPGA Classic in New Jersey.

Karen Stupples was the best-placed Briton at the Bell Micro, closing with a 70 to finish 15 shots off the lead.
