(Reuters) - Cristie Kerr took advantage of a meltdown by South Korean Jang Su-yeon to win the LPGA's Lotte Championship by three strokes in Hawaii on Saturday. Kerr, whose previous win on the U.S. women's golf tour came at the CME Group Tour Championship in 2015, carded a bogey-free six-under-par 66 to finish on a combined 20-under 268 for the tournament. "I didn't even think about it until after I shot 10-under (on Friday) that turtles are really good luck for me. "The patrols are out there so that you don't harm them, but it kind of swam at me and I touched it, and it was really, really good luck." The sponsor's invitee had gone 59 holes without a bogey before dropping three strokes just before the turn to open the door for Kerr.
