GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — In-Kyung Kim held off two-time defending champion Anna Nordqvist on Sunday in the ShopRite LPGA Classic for her fifth tour title.

Tied with Paula Creamer for the second-round lead, Kim closed with a 2-under 69 for a two-stroke victory over Nordqvist at Stockton Seaview.

Kim was making her sixth start since returning from a injury sustained falling down stairs. The 28-year-old South Korean player won the Reignwood LPGA Classic late last season in China.

Nordqvist shot a 69.

Kim finished at 11-under 202.

Michelle Wie had a 65 to tie for third at 7 under with Jenny Shin (69), Jacqui Concolino (70) and Jeong Eun Lee (71). Creamer had a 74 to drop into a tie for seventh at 6 under.

Jutanugarn takes over No. 1 ranking 

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Ariya Jutanugarn took the No. 1 spot in the world ranking without hitting a shot, and Paula Creamer and In-Kyung Kim topped the ShopRite LPGA Classic leaderboard Saturday.

Taking the week off, Jutanugarn replaced Lydia Ko atop the ranking when So Yeon Ryu missed the cut. Ko, also skipping the event, was guaranteed to lose the top spot to Jutanugarn or Ryu, and Jutanugarn got the position when Ryu failed to finish solo third or better.

Ko has been ranked world No. 1 since Oct. 25, 2015.

Creamer and Kim each shot a 4-under 67 in windy conditions to reach 9 under at Stockton Seaview, while two-time defending champion Anna Nordqvist followed her opening 64 with a 71 to drop two strokes behind along with Moriya Jutanugarn — Ariya’s older sister — and Jeong Eun Lee.

“Today was definitely different wind than yesterday,” Creamer said. “There were some good pins out there that we had to kind of think about a bit. I played solid. I hit some good putts that didn’t go in and made some good putts that went in.”

Ryu had her second straight 74 to miss the cut by three strokes.

The 30-year-old Creamer won the last of her 10 LPGA Tour victories in 2014 in Singapore when she made a 75-foot eagle putt on the second hole of a playoff with Azahara Munoz.

“I feel good. I feel prepared,” Creamer said. “I knew there was a time I was going to kind of breakthrough. It just shows these last two days have been good golf. We’ll continue. Whatever happens tomorrow happens, but I feel like my golf game is in a good place.”

Kim won the Reignwood LPGA Classic late last year in China for her fourth tour title.

“I just love coming here,” Kim said. “I have good relationship with Special Olympics New Jersey, and it’s my treat to come here and spend time with them.”

Nordqvist had two birdies and consecutive bogeys on Nos. 11 and 12. She’s trying to match fellow Swede Annika Sorenstam’s record of three victories in the event.

“Overall, I feel like I played a little bit better than I scored,” Nordqvist said. “I’m still in it. It was just a hard afternoon with the wind.”

Nordqvist won the Founders Cup in Phoenix in March for her seventh LPGA Tour title, a homecoming victory for the former Arizona State star.

Moriya Jutanugarn and Lee each shot 70.

Stacy Lewis followed an opening 67 with a 72 to drop into a tie for 19th at 3 under. She won in 2012 and 2014 at Stockton Seaview.

India’s Sharmila Nicollet shot a 76-78 to miss the cut after winning a fan Twitter poll to get the final sponsor exemption.

Roberto De Vicenzo, who infamously signed an incorrect scorecard at the 1968 Masters, denying him a spot in a playoff, died Thursday in his native Argentina, the PGA Tour confirmed.

DeVicenzo, 94, passes away

De Vicenzo, 94, was the second-oldest living major champion and the winner of more than 230 professional tournaments, a majority of them in Argentina.

His biggest win came at the 1967 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, where he won by two strokes over Jack Nicklaus. He had eight PGA Tour victories and nine on the European Tour.

De Vicenzo was more known, however, for the scorecard error that occurred the following year at the Masters. During the final round, De Vicenzo made a birdie 3 at the par-4 17th hole and finished tied with Bob Goalby.

But Tommy Aaron, who was playing with De Vicenzo and keeping his scorecard, mistakenly wrote down a “4” on the hole. De Vicenzo did not catch the error and signed the scorecard, meaning under the Rules of Golf he had to take that score.

Goalby was the one-shot winner after an 18-hole playoff the following day.

“What a stupid I am,” was De Vicenzo’s disconsolate quote in the aftermath.

PGA Tour player Emiliano Grillo, 24, a native of Argentina, recalled De Vicenzo’s career, and influence, Thursday.

“I would say he won a major and a half,” Grillo said. “But everyone remembers him for a mistake, not for what he did at the Open when he won.

“But he marked the way for most guys, marked the way for me. He opened the door for Europe and over here. He was one of the icons, marked the way for the guys who marked the way for me and most guys.”

Nicklaus, who called him a “great friend,” on Thursday said De Vicenzo still talked about the gaffe when they last saw each other.

“Robert was not only a great golfer, but he was a great friend,” Nicklaus said. “The last time I was with Roberto, we were in Argentina, only about three or four years ago. And he always talked about how he said, ‘I’m stupid,’ because of what he did at the Masters that one year. He still talked about it. Forty years later, he still talked about it.

“He was a nice man, a nice player. We had only one time that we came down the stretch playing against each other, which was the British Open in ’67. I think he birdied 17 and I didn’t birdie 17. He represented his country, he represented the game of golf. He was one of the really good guys.”

Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989, De Vicenzo also enjoyed success on what is now the PGA Tour Champions, winning the 1980 U.S Senior Open. He also won the 1974 PGA Seniors Championship.

The Argentine Golf Association, which is part of the PGA Tour Latino America, has requested that the flags be flown at half-staff at this week’s tour’s stop in Quito, Ecuador.
