Anna Nordqvist wins ShopRite LPGA Classic (The Associated Press)

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) -- Anna Nordqvist birdied the 16th and 17th holes to break out of the pack and win the ShopRite LPGA Classic by a stroke Sunday.

With her mother visiting from Sweden, the 27-year-old Nordqvist closed with a 2-under 69 in windy conditions to finish at 8-under 205 at Stockton Seaview's Bay Course.

The former Arizona State player has five career LPGA Tour titles, winning twice each in 2009 and 2014.

A stroke behind leader Morgan Pressel entering the round, Nordqvist made her move on the closing three holes - a stretch she played in 5 under the first two days.
