Kerr wins another title at Stanford's expense

Cristie Kerr has nothing against Angela Stanford.

It's certainly hard to tell, though, the way Kerr is running up her LPGA Tour victory total at Stanford's expense.

"I like Angela," Kerr said Sunday at the Canadian Women's Open in London, Ontario, after rallying to beat Stanford for the second time in three months. "She's a fellow Solheim Cup team member of mine and I have great respect for her. I think she's a great player."

Kerr overcome an eight-stroke deficit, closing with a bogey-free, 7-under 65 for a one-stroke victory over Stanford.

"Unbelievable! I felt like I played great, but I still can't believe I won," Kerr said. "It was just a magical day. ... I'm very proud of myself."

Kerr, who came from four strokes back to beat Stanford in May in the Franklin American Mortgage Championship in Tennessee, finished with a 12-under 276 total on the London Hunt and Country Club course.

"I feel for Angela," said Kerr, who earned $255,000 for her eighth career win. "I've been in that position many times, and it's a hard place to be, but I also think she's incredibly talented and she's going to win a lot of tournaments."

Stanford, four strokes ahead of Meena Lee after the third round, bogeyed the final two holes for a 74 -- 10 strokes higher than her tournament-record tying opening round.

"I'm not sure how I'm going to react to this one," Stanford said. "It's probably a good thing that I'm playing next week. It's probably good to keep going."

PGA Tour

Dean Wilson earned his first PGA Tour win with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff, topping Tom Lehman at the International at Castle Pines in Castle Rock, Colo., on Sunday.

After Lehman barely missed wide on a 30-foot putt for birdie, Wilson sank a 6-footer to win the $990,000 first-place prize. His best previous finish was a tie for third at the 2004 Valero Texas Open.

Lehman would've vaulted into seventh place in the Ryder Cup standings with a win. He is captain of the U.S. team that will travel to Ireland next month to try to bring home the cup for the first time since 1999.
