Inbee Park claimed her 13th career LPGA title by winning the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore on Sunday.

She fired a two-under-par 70 in the final round to win by two strokes.

Park, who started the day with a two-stroke lead, had birdies seven and 11 at the Sentosa Golf Club to finish the tournament at 15-under 273, clear of 17-year-old Lydia Ko, who also shot a final round of 70.

Stacy Lewis had a bogey on the final hole for a 72 that left her in third place, four strokes off the lead.

Azahara Munoz, who was runner-up last year, tied for fourth at 10-under with Shanshan Feng and So Yeon Ryu.

Defending champion Paula Creamer had a 74 to tie for 55th place.

Karrie Webb was the best-placed Australian at three under, finishing in a tie for 21st.
