Golf: Webb wins record 8th title

GOLD COAST: Australia’s Karrie Webb overhauled the overnight leaders to win a record eighth Australian Ladies Masters title at Royal Pines on Sunday. Webb, 38, swept home on the back of four birdies in her closing six holes to win the 54-hole event by two shots. Webb carded a final round of five-under 67 for 13-under 203 to beat overnight leaders, Australia’s Oh Su-Hyun (70-64-71) and Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn (69-65-71). South Korea’s Chella Choi also finished joint second after rounds of 69-67-69. Webb’s finish gave her a winning start to 2013 after her first-ever winless calender year in 2012. “I’m very happy, it never gets old to get a win here,” said Webb.”
