CORNING, N.Y. -- Add the Corning Classic to Annika Sorenstam's impressive r & eacute;sum & eacute;.
Sorenstam shot a 4-under-par 68 Sunday for a two-stroke victory over third-round leader Michelle Estill and Vicki Goetze-Ackerman.
It was Sorenstam's third victory in six tournaments this year, No. 51 overall, and her 16th come-from-behind triumph.
And it came a year after Sorenstam had skipped Corning to play against the men at Colonial.
Sorenstam finished at 18-under 270 and pocketed $150,000 to take over the top spot on the money list from Grace Park.
PGA Tour
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- David Toms showed Sunday that he still knows how to finish off a tournament.
Toms started the final round with a seven-stroke lead, and nothing -- not even windy conditions -- would stop him from repeating as champion at the St. Jude Classic.
He shot a 2-over 73 and still finished with a six-stroke victory over Bob Estes for his 10th PGA Tour victory and first since winning here last June in this event sponsored by FedEx.
Senior PGA
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Hale Irwin held a one-shot lead over Dave Barr and Jay Haas when the final round was suspended Sunday at the rain-plagued Senior PGA Championship at Valhalla.
A powerful front that spawned tornados in Indiana moved through the area Sunday afternoon, triggering the fourth delay in four days.
Play was suspended late Sunday afternoon. The players were due to resume their final rounds early today.
Volvo PGA
VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Scotland's Scott Drummond, ranked 435th in the world, won the Volvo PGA Championship on Sunday. He is the first to capture the European tour's flagship event on his first try since Arnold Palmer in 1975.
