Golf roundup
*STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. -- Sung Ah Yim picked her first LPGA Tour victory in the most unlikely way possible: a final-round collapse by Annika Sorenstam that allowed the 22-year-old South Korean to win by two strokes Sunday.
After three straight rounds in the 60s gave Sorenstam the lead going to the final day of the Florida's Natural Charity Championship, she slumped to a 3-over 75 that left her in a three-way tie for second with Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr. Yim, in just her second year on the tour, played in the final group with Sorenstam. Amazingly, the part-time university student was the one who held it together at the end, scrambling for a 72. She got up and down from the fringe on three straight holes before knocking in a short birdie putt at the par-5 18th to finish at 16-under 272.
*HUMBLE, Texas -- Stuart Appleby shot a 5-under 67 to cap a wire-to-wire victory in the Shell Houston Open and join Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as two-time winners on the PGA this year.

LONDON -- Deena Kastor broke her own American record to win the London Marathon Sunday, while Felix Limo out-sprinted defending champion Martin Lel to take the men's race.

She ran 2:21:16 -- the previous American record -- to finish third in her only other London Marathon in 2003. The 33-year-old Kastor is only the eighth woman to run under 2:20.
In the men's race, Limo and Lel ran side by side for the final 1.2 miles before Limo made a break with the finishing line in sight. Limo finished in 2:06:39.
