Guadalajara, Mexico -- (Sports Network) - Angela Stanford carded a three-under 69 Sunday to hold off Annika Sorenstam and Brittany Lang to win the inaugural Lorena Ochoa Invitational.

Stanford, who has posted five straight top-five finishes, completed her third LPGA Tour win at 13-under-par 275.

"It was a great day, you couldn't ask for anything more to be at Lorena's tournament and playing with Annika in the final round. That's just pretty special," said Stanford, who collected $200,000 for the win.

Sorenstam nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback. Down two shots on the 16th, she holed out from a bunker then made an up and down from short of the 17th green.

At the last, Sorenstam had a chance to force a playoff, but her seven-foot birdie putt lipped out giving Stanford the win.

"I still can't believe the putt didn't go in," Stanford exclaimed. "I'm still speechless."

Sorenstam also closed with a 69 to tie Lang in second at minus-12. Lang closed with a course-record and career-low, seven-under 65.

Tournament host and world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa closed with a two-under 70 to share 14th at four-under-par 284.

"It was a fun moment and very special on 18," said Ochoa, who closed with a birdie. "I am so pleased. It is a blessing to have the best players in the world right here in my home course. I couldn't ask for anything better, it has been amazing."

Stanford led by one to start the round and she parred the first five holes. Katherine Hull birdied the second and third to match Stanford at 10-under.

The 30-year-old Stanford rolled in a long birdie putt at the sixth to move one clear of Hull. However, Hull again forged a tie for the lead with a tap-in birdie on the eighth at Guadalajara Country Club.

Stanford moved back in front with an up-and-down birdie on the 10th. She came right back with a seven-foot birdie putt on the 11th to move two shots clear at minus-13.

Hull stumbled to a bogey on the 13th to fall three back and she never recovered.

Meanwhile, Sorenstam parred the first nine holes. At the 10th, she two-putted for birdie then ran home a long birdie putt at 14 to move to minus-11, where she trailed Stanford by two strokes.

Stanford parred four in a row from the 12th. At the par-four 16th, Stanford came up short with her approach, but chipped within two feet and kicked that in for par.

Sorenstam knocked her second over the green into a bunker. Facing a difficult up and down, Sorenstam hit a perfect bunker shot as the ball landed just on the green and tracked into the hole for birdie. She moved within one thanks to the stunning birdie.

At 17, Sorenstam got up and down for par from the front edge of the green. Stanford two-putted for par to hold a one-shot lead heading to the last.

Both Stanford and Sorenstam played their second shots down the fairway at the par-five closing hole. Stanford knocked her third to 15 feet. She just missed on the left edge and tapped in for par.

Sorenstam, whose approach shot nearly spun back into the cup, had seven feet for birdie. Her putt almost fell into the right side of the cup, but spun out giving Stanford the title.

"I thought I played really well. On the front, I really didn't make anything. A lot of lip-outs today," Sorenstam said. "It's a bummer. It was pretty much in on the last and it decided not to go in. I fought to the end and made some great saves the last three, four holes."

Lang birdied four of the first five holes to jump to minus-nine. After a bogey on the eighth, she birdied nine and 10 to get within one of Stanford. Lang birdied 14 and 17, but could only two-putt for par at the last to share second.

Hull, Meena Lee, Jeong Jang, Jee Young Lee and Sun Young Yoo shared fourth place at eight-under-par 280. In-Kyung Kim was one shot back at minus-seven.
