WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia (AP) - Annika Sorenstam's won for the third time in eight events this season, capturing the Michelob Ultra Open on Sunday with a 5-under 66 to break the tournament's 72-hole record by five strokes.
After an injury-plagued winless 2007, the U.S. LPGA Tour's eight-time player of the year signaled her return to form

is all but complete.
She subdued a challenge from Loreno Ochoa on Saturday, and did the same to Jang Jeong on Sunday, finishing with a 19-under 265 to win by seven strokes
With four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the back nine, her four-round total broke Karrie Webb's record set two years ago on the Kingsmill Resort and Spa's River Course.
Jang missed a short putt on the final hole for her first bogey in 35 holes and finished with a 70 to share second with Christina Kim (69), Allison Fouch (64) and Karen Stupples (66).
Sorenstam hit almost every fairway and almost every green, overcoming an early bogey _ just her second of the tournament _ with birdies whenever Jang closed to within two shots.
She then used her wedge game to leave everyone behind.
Jang, playing with a sore wrist that she said has bothered her for more than a year, made a 15-foot birdie putt on the fifth hole to get within two, and Sorenstam promptly hit her approach on the par-4 sixth within 12 feet and made it to restore the three-shot edge.
When Jang chipped in from 40 yards on the par-4 ninth, Sorenstam left her long birdie putt just short, but hit her approach to within a few feet on No. 10 for another birdie.
Sorenstam added three consecutive birdies beginning on the par-3 13th, then another by hitting it close on the par-3 17th.
She was all smiles while waiting on the tee at the par-4 18th hole, where she hooked her drive into the water on Saturday, one of only two mistakes that hurt her all weekend.

She finished her 72nd career victory by missing a short putt for par, but by then it was academic.
Katherine Hull, who started the day tied for 21st, made the first double-eagle of the year when she hit a 3-wood 229 yards on the par-5 seventh, part of a 64 that lifted her into sixth, eight strokes back. The best round of her career also included a double bogey at the par-4 10th.
And Ahn Shi-hyun, whose first three rounds were 71, 71 and 72, tied the course record with a 63, making nine birdies and eight pars before a bogey on the par-4 ninth, her last hole.
