Kerr wins Lotte for her 19th title

Cristie Kerr won the LPGA Lotte Championship at Ko Olina in Kapolei, Hawaii, on Saturday for her 19th tour title, closing with a 6-under-par 66 for a three-stroke victory.

Kerr, 39, broke the tournament

record at 20-under 268, a day after shooting 62 to match the event mark. She earned $300,000 to top $18 million in her career.

Kerr ended a 30-event victory drought, since the 2015 season finale. She soared into contention by going 16 under the final two days.

The American overcame sponsor invite Su-Yeon Jang, who had led after the second and third rounds and was five ahead of Kerr after three holes Saturday. Jang had a 70 to drop

into a tie for second with topranked Lydia Ko (64) and In Gee Chun (67).

PGA Tour: Jason Dufner had two eagles on the way to a 6-under 65 and a one-shot lead heading into the final round of the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island, S.C.

Dufner, the 2013 PGA Championship winner, started three shots behind co-leaders Graham DeLaet and Luke Donald, but he quickly closed that deficit with eagles on both

front-nine par 5s at Nos. 2 and 5. He also birdied par-5 No. 15 as part of a three-birdie run that put him in front at 13 under.

DeLaet was second after a 69, the Canadian’s third straight sub-70 round.

Champions Tour: Stephen Ames shot a 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead over five players into the final round of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic at Duluth, Ga. Ames had five birdies and a bogey at TPC Sugarloaf to reach 9-under 135. First-round leader Bob Tway followed his opening 65 with a 71 to drop into a tie for second with Kenny Perry (64), Billy Andrade (66), Brandt Jobe (68) and Kevin Sutherland (69).

European Tour: Paul Dunne will take a 2-shot lead into the final round of the Trophee Hassan II in Rabat, Morocco, with a 4-under 69, getting the Irishman to 8-under overall and a chance at his first professional title.
