PHOENIX—Inbee Park spoiled Laura Davies’ bid to become the oldest winner in LPGA Tour history, pulling away from the 54-year-old Englishwoman on Sunday in the Founders CupPark closed with a 5-under 67 in cool and breezy conditions at Desert Ridge for her 19th LPGA Tour victory and first in a little over a year. The 29-year-old South Korean star finished at 19-under 269, a day after revealing she was 50-50 about retiring before returning from a long break. Davies also could have moved within one point of the LPGA Hall of Fame with a victory in the event honouring the 13 women who founded the LPGA Tour in 1950. She won the last of her 20 LPGA Tour titles in 2001. Park pulled away on the back nine with four consecutive birdies.
