Ji Young Oh of South Korea used a meticulous short game in the face of strong winds Sunday, shooting a final-round 70 to win the L.P.G.A.'s Sybase Classic. The 20-year-old Oh started out tied for the lead with Suzann Pettersen of Norway. But Pettersen had a rough day, slumping to a 74 with five bogeys, and Oh cruised to a four-stroke victory with a 72-hole score of 14-under 274. In the final round, 19-year-old Michelle Wie and 22-year-old Paula Creamer shot 73s on Upper Montclair Country Club's 6,413-yard, par-72 layout. Brittany Lincicome, 23, the second-round leader, fell off to a 77. Wie and Creamer tied for third at 280 and Lincicome tied for sixth at 282.
Oh's victory, her second on the tour, might have been somewhat surprising, though not to her. "From the first day, when I made a hole in one, I knew that the trophy was waiting for me," said Oh, whose careful 70 was bested in the final round only by the 68 shot by her countrywoman M. J. Hur. She had a bad spell when she three-putted on No. 8 for a bogey; put her ball behind a tree and escaped with a par on No. 9; and failed to reach the green on No. 10, taking another bogey. But she soon righted herself, finishing with seven straight pars and a birdie at No. 18. Pettersen missed the par-putt on No. 12 and failed to hold a trophy by losing out on 1 on both No. 17 and No. 18.
