GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Annika Sorenstam nearly holed her third shot on the par-5 18th, then lipped out an 8-foot birdie try to give Angela Stanford a one-stroke victory today in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.

Sorenstam, making her second-to-last start before she leaves the LPGA Tour, holed out from a bunker for birdie on the par-3 16th to get to 12 under — a stroke behind Stanford — but settled for pars on the final two holes. On the 18th, her wedge shot rolled just by the side of the cup as it spun back down the green.

Stanford, the Bell Micro LPGA Classic winner in September, closed with a 3-under 69. She had a 13-under 275 total on the Guadalajara Country Club course and earned $200,000 for her third LPGA Tour title. The Texan has five straight top-five finishes.

Sorenstam, the 72-time LPGA Tour winner coming off a playoff victory two weeks ago in China in a Ladies European Tour event, also finished with a 69. She tied for second with Brittany Lang, the former Duke star who shot a course-record 65.

Ochoa shot a 70 to tie for 14th at 4 under.
