Sports World: Washout so Hataoka wins 4th LPGA title

LOS ANGELES • Japan's Nasa Hataoka, who held a commanding six-shot lead after 54 holes, claimed her fourth LPGA Tour title on Sunday, as rain washed out the final round of the Marathon Classic in Sylvania, Ohio.

The 22-year-old's 19-under 194 secured her the victory as heavy downpours left the course unplayable. Americans Elizabeth Szokol and Mina Harigae finished tied for second at 13-under 200, with Germany's Esther Henseleit another stroke back.
