Feng ends LPGA season with bang

Shanshan Feng of China finished her year with a 6-under 66 and the richest prize in women’s golf.

Feng got off to a quick start and played mistake-free Sunday to win the LPGA Titleholders in Naples, Fla., by one shot over Gerina Piller. The victory in the final event of the LPGA season was worth $700,000 and pushed Feng to No. 4 on the money list with just over $1.7 million.

Feng was two shots behind going into the final round. But she made four birdies in six holes to seize control and stayed ahead the rest of the way. Piller missed a 10-foot birdie attempt on the final hole that would have forced a playoff.

Natalie Gulbis, tied for the 54-hole lead, closed with an 82.

Pebble Beach Invitational

Kevin Kisner made a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 2-over 74 and a one-stroke victory over Chesson Hadley in Pebble Beach, Calif.

Kisner finished at 13-under 275 in the tournament featuring 80 professionals from the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Web.com tours.

Hadley shot a 70 and was four shots in front of Scott Langley (68) and William McGirt (73), who tied at 8 under.

Mina Harigae had a 71 to top LPGA finishers and finished tied with Sam Saunders (74) and Mark Brooks (70) at 281.

Tommy Armour III (68) and Kirk Triplett (72) were the top Champions Tour’s finishers and were among five players at 282.

Kisner earned $60,000 of the $300,000 purse.

Dunlop Phoenix

Luke Donald shot a 5-under 66 to defend his title at the Dunlop Phoenix in Miyazaki, Japan, and earn his first victory of the year.

Heading into the final round with a two-stroke lead, Donald had seven birdies and two bogeys at the par-71 Phoenix Country Club to finish at 14-under 270.

Kim Hyung-sung of South Korea finished second at 8 under after a final-round 70. Shingo Katayama shot a 65 to finish third, one stroke behind Kim.
