In a nail-biting finish, golfer Karrie Webb won her fifth Women’s Australian Open, yesterday.

The veteran golfer started Sunday’s round with a five-stroke deficit, after already playing three rounds. She was able to catch up, however, and then narrowly defeat Chella Choi, who was seeking her first LPGA Tour victory. Webb partially credits the gusting winds that showed up at The Victoria Golf Club for her victory.

“I feel very fortunate to have won today, but I liked my chances at the start of the day because of the wind picking up,” she said in an interview. “If we had another day like we had the first three days, I probably was a little too far back to have a chance, so I was thankful for the weather changing and I played as good as I have in a very long time.”

Webb shot a four-under 68 to finish at 13-under. She completed six birdies and two bogeys on the day. Choi, who was the co-third round leader, wasn’t too shabby herself. In fact, Saturday, Choi shot a course record 62, which put her in an excellent position going into Sunday’s round.

After bogeying on the 16th hole Sunday, Webb became tied with Choi for first. But after a par on hole 17, Webb nailed the five-par 18th hole with just two strokes, which proved to be the tournament winner, after Choi missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the final hole.

Fans of the golfer showed their support on Twitter:

Webb scored the winner’s check of $180,000, while Choi walked away with $110,822.

Webb’s victory is a good change of events from last week, in which she was disqualified from the Australian Ladies Masters after she signed an incorrect scorecard.

This win marks the 40th LPGA title for Webb. The golfer also won the Australian Open in 2000, 2002, 2007, and 2008.
