08/03/2008 - Berkshire, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ji-Yai Shin fired a six-under 66 on Sunday to earn her first major championship at the Women's British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club.
Shin, 20, plays primarily on the Korean LPGA Tour so this was not just her first major title, but her first victory on the LPGA Tour. She finished at 18- under 270 to win by three.
Yani Tseng also shot a six-under 66 on Sunday to take second at 15-under 273.
Overnight leader Yuri Fudoh traded the lead in the final round with several players, but was ultimately done in by a bogey at the ninth. She only managed a one-under 71 on Sunday and tied for third place with Eun-Hee Ji, who carded a 67. The pair came in at 14-under 274.
Ai Miyazato also shared first on Sunday, but finished with a two-under 70. She was fifth at minus-13, one shot better than former U.S. Women's Open champion Cristie Kerr, who also posted a 70 on Sunday.
Last year's winner Lorena Ochoa inched close to the lead, but never truly threatened. She ended up with a three-under 69 and shared seventh with Momoko Ueda, who also had a 69, at 11-under 277.
Annika Sorenstam, the 2003 winner, played in what is expected to be her final major championship. The Swede, who stated she was walking away from competitive golf at the end of the year, polished off her major career with a birdie at her last hole for a four-under 68 and a share of 24th place at minus-six.

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).
Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.
Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).
Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.
Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.
The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.
What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.
Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.
But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.
In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
