2006 Weetabix Women's British Open Steinhauer Wins Women's British Open Title By Sports Network - August 06, 2006 LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England -- Sherri Steinhauer shot an even-par 72 to claim her third Women's British Open title on Sunday. Winning the tournament for the first time since it was declared a major in 2001, Steinhauer ended at 7-under-par 281 for a three-shot victory over Cristie Kerr and 2000 champion Sophie Gustafson. "I feel like I'm living in a dream," said Steinhauer, who shot a 66 on Saturday to take the lead overnight. "I just absolutely am stunned." With her win at the Women's British Open, Sherri Steinhauer now has two majors championships to her credit.It was the seventh career title and second major championship for the 43-year- old Steinhauer, who won the 1992 du Maurier Classic for her first. The du Maurier was replaced by the British Open as the fourth women's major in 2001, two years after Steinhauer claimed the second of her back-to-back Women's British titles in 1999. "People thought that they were a major," Steinhauer said. "Now that it really is, now that I've really won it as a major, it makes the other wins that much sweeter, too." Despite her record at this event, Steinhauer admitted being more than a little nervous before her final round. "It's not like I hit it terrible on the driving range, but I didn't hit it very well and I was extremely nervous out there," she said. "Like I said, I'm speechless. This is incredible for me." Kerr closed with a 71 and Gustafson had a 72 to finish at 4-under 284. Juli Inkster, who led following the first two rounds, and Lorena Ochoa both shot 73s to share fourth place at 3 under. Annika Sorenstam, the 2003 winner at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, had a triple-bogey, a double-bogey and two bogeys on the back nine and shot a 7-over 79. She tied for 31st place at plus-7. "A lot of bad swings," Sorenstam described her round. "It just didn't add up. I'm bummed." Michelle Wie finished outside the top-five for the first time at a major this season, ending at 6-over to share 26th place.
