  • Intro:

    Lexi Thompson closed with a bogey-free 4-under 68 for victory in the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship.

    The 19-year-old American had a three-stroke lead over Michelle Wie.

    Script:

    Another beautiful, southern California day for the fourth round of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship.

    Se Ri Pak's day started well, as she holed out a chip from the rough on the first hole, the birdie took her to 9-under par.

    She tied for fourth with Cristie Kerr.

    Lexi Thompson also had a great start to her round, the 19-year-old birdied the first hole to take the outright lead at 11-under par.

    Michelle Wie nearly holed out her chip on the second hole.

    She made birdie moments later to reach 11-under.

    Another birdie for Thompson arrived at the fifth hole for a three-shot lead at 13-under par - the American had birdied three of the first five holes.

    Stacy Lewis was doing her best to stay with the leaders, and played a great approach shot on the 9th hole.

    The 2011 winner had a 67 to finish third at 7-under.

    But there was no stopping Thompson, her birdie on the 9th hole put her clear by five shots at 14-under par.

    Wie did well with a birdie putt on the 14th hole which had got her to 11-under, within three shots.

    But Wie wouldn't catch Thompson, who tapped in to win the tournament.

    She closed with a bogey-free 4-under 68 for a three-stroke victory.

    Wie was second, birdieing the final hole for a 71.

    Moments after winning, Thompson, her parents and caddy took the traditional jump into Poppie's Pond.

    Thompson finished at 14-under 274 for her fourth LPGA Tour victory and became the second-youngest major winner in LPGA Tour history at 19 years, one month and 27 days.
