South Korea's Se Ri Pak held off the challenge of Annika Sorenstam to take the Office Depot Championship by just one shot.

Pak started the day with a three shot lead over Sorenstam and held on to claim her first win in six months.

The turning point came at the 14th when Pak made an important six foot putt to save par.

In the first few holes I made some bad shots but I hung in there

Se Ri Pak

Although Pak wobbled slightly at the 17th where Sorenstam cut the lead to one stroke with a birdie, the Korean held on for victory.

American Laura Diaz finished third at three-under 213 after shooting a one-over 73 on Sunday.

Pak has played just three times this year after challenging Sorenstam for Player of the Year honours last season with five titles.

Sorenstam was defending the title she won in a play-off with Korea's Mi Hyun Kim last year.
