MOBILE, Alabama: Angela Stanford squandered a comfortable cushion but sank a short par putt at the closing hole to hold off China's Feng Shanshan on Sunday and win the inaugural Bell Micro LPGA Classic.

Stanford, who held a four-shot lead heading into the final round, saw it dwindle to one stroke through 17 holes as she posted a double-bogey and three bogeys.

But her 1-over-par final-round 73 was enough to give the 30-year-old American her first LPGA victory since 2003.
