Strom shoots 60 to win ShopRite Classic

NEW YORK — Linnea Strom captured her first US LPGA title in sensational style on Sunday (Monday in Manila), firing an 11-under-par 60 to win the ShopRite Classic by one stroke.

The 27-year-old Swede, who needed a 12-foot birdie putt at her last hole on Saturday to make the cut on the number, posted the seventh round of 60 or better ever recorded on the LPGA tour and walked off the course with the clubhouse lead on 14-under 200.
