Jeong Jang, the reigning Weetabix Women's British Open Champion, won the Wegmans LPGA in New York on Sunday.

The 26-year-old finished a shot ahead of Paraguayan teenage rookie Julieta Granada, who birdied the last from four feet for a 67.

Brittany Lang, with a 71, and fellow American Marcy Hart, who bogeyed the 18th for a 69, tied for third.

England's Johanna Head, the only British player to make the cut, closed with a level par 72 and tied for 65th.

This was the fourth South Korean victory in a row on the LPGA circuit this season.

Jang led from start to finish to win the British Open at Royal Birkdale last year and she went into the final round in New York with a one-shot lead.

Lang did manage briefly to move one ahead with the help of four first half birdies, including three in a row from the third.

But she dropped shots at the 13th and 14th and Jang responded with close-range birdies at the 13th and 17th to regain control.

Italy's Silvia Cavalleri was the leading European player in a share of 10th place on eight under par after a closing 72.
