In-Kyung Kim crouched and grimaced when the ball stopped on the edge of the cup on her final hole. Moments later, she couldn’t hide her smile.

Kim finished with a flourish Sunday, birdieing two of her final three holes to beat Hall of Famer Se Ri Pak by a stroke in the State Farm Classic.

Kim shot a 7-under 65 to finish at 17- under 271, giving the South Korean her second LPGA Tour victory along with a big boost heading into the LPGA Championship next week at Bulle Rock. In the process, she denied Pak (66) her first win in two years.

“Yeah, this tournament means a lot to me, playing with all the great players that all played this week,” Kim said. “I feel really special, yeah.”

Michelle Wie tied for 54th at 4 under, following a third-round 77 with a 69.

In Lakeway, Texas, Bernhard Langer became the first three-time winner on the Champions Tour this season, closing with a 5-under 67 for a six-stroke victory over Mark O’Meara in the Triton Financial Classic. Former Crag Burn pro Lonnie Nielsen finished at 217, 16 shots behind Langer, while former Buffalo resident Jim Thorpe was another five shots back.
