Lorena Ochoa retained her Safeway International crown in dominant fashion on Sunday, posting a seven-stroke victory in the US$1.5 million LPGA event.
The world No. 1 from Mexico, who led by one at the start of the round, fired a six-under 66 for a 22-under total of 266 -- four strokes better than her winning total last year.
South Korean Lee Jee-young, who birdied 18 for a 72, finished second at 15-under 273 with Finland's Minea Blomqvist third at 14-under 274 after a 67.
Ochoa, 26, notched her 19th LPGA title and her second of the year. She opened her season with a victory in the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore earlier this month.
