Sweden's Annika Sorenstam continued her great comeback season by cruising to victory in the Michelob Ultra Open in Williamsburg.
Three ahead at the start of the final round, the 37-year-old shot a closing 66 for a tournament record 19-under-par total - nine better than the previous mark set by Suzann Pettersen last year.
Sorenstam won by seven shots from a group of four players which included England's Karen Stupples.
Kent's Stupples confirmed her standing as the top British player on the LPGA Tour after packing five birdies and an eagle into a closing 66.
She joined Americans Allison Fouch (64) and Christina Kim (69) and South Korea's Jeong Jang (70) on 12 under.
It was a third top 10 and a season's best for the 34-year-old Stupples, who won the 2004 Women's British Open but missed most of last year following the birth of her son, Logan, 13 months ago.
"I really feel I'm now getting back to my best again," said the two-time LPGA winner.
"It's lovely having Logan with me on tour, but it's also great to be back playing full-time again."
World number one Lorena Ochoa, who was tied for second at halfway, slipped to joint 12th after a final round of 70.
It was a third victory of the year and a 72nd LPGA Tour title for Sorenstam, who was plagued by back and neck injuries in 2007.
"It's great to be back playing good golf again," said the 10-time major winner, who reigned as world number one for five years before being overtaken by Ochoa 13 months ago.
"Getting back to number one is going to be very tough because Lorena is paying so well but I'm just enjoying winning again and I'll just take each tournament as it comes."
Two ahead going into the back nine, Sorenstam took control with a birdie at the 10th and made three in a row from the 13th and another at the 17th as she strolled towards the Ј115,000 first prize.
