Webb slips, but holds on for Ultra win

Bobby Wadkins won the Boeing Championship.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Karrie Webb stumbled a bit for the first time in two days in the Michelob Ultra Open before rebounding quickly after her mistakes and a long rain delay to beat Lorena Ochoa and Hee-Won Han by seven shots.
The victory Sunday was the second of the year for Webb, a two-time player of the year trying to rebound from her first winless season. She finished with a 1-under 70 for a 14-under 270 total and became the third player to win wire-to-wire this year.
Ochoa finished second for the fourth time in her last five starts and the fifth time in eight events this season. She also won in Las Vegas.
Webb, meanwhile, also won the season's first major, the Kraft Nabisco. She again showed that she's getting back the game that once made her the dominant player in women's golf. but she said it took a long time to get comfortable Sunday.
"I think I was nervous probably until the 16th hole," she said, recalling a 6-iron into stiff wind from 173 yards to a pin tucked in the left corner on the par 4. She hit her shot to 15 feet, then rolled in the putt to effectively seal the victory.
Ochoa closed with a 72, failing after an opening birdie to keep the pressure on the Australian. Han shot a 70 and Pat Hurst and defending champion Cristie Kerr, who started the day tied with Ochoa five shots back, tied for fourth with Paula Creamer. Hurst and Kerr both had closing 73s, and Creamer shot 69.
Champions Tour
DESTIN, Fla. -- Bobby Wadkins' seven-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole gave him a one-stroke victory over venerable Raymond Floyd in the $1.6 million Boeing Championship.
Wadkins, who led at the end of each of the first two rounds in the 54-hole event, finished with a 1-under-70 Sunday and a 10-under 203 for his first PGA Champions Tour win in five years.
Floyd shot an 8-under-63 -- one stroke shy of his best round ever in a 43-year PGA career.
