AP , PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA

Lost in the disqualification was Sorenstam's eighth victory of the year. She finished at 18-under 270 to finish eight shots ahead of 19-year-old rookie Paula Creamer, and earn US$212,500, pushing her over US$2 million for the fifth straight season. She also wrapped up her eighth LPGA Tour player of the year award.

Creamer, whose two victories this year include a seven-shot win in France, holed a wedge shot for eagle on the 12th hole and shot 70 to finish second.
