Six players won more than once, but only one of them cruised to another Player of the Year honor.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Lorena Ochoa Ochoa also garnered her third consecutive Player of the Year award from the LPGA, which she may have earned before the season even turned to summer by winning five of her first six starts.

3 in the women's world rankings.

Once again, there was little change at the top of the rankings.

Sorenstam tied for seventh place in her final event of the season, shooting a one-under 71 Sunday in the last round of the Dubai Ladies Masters.

Planning to retire after the tournament, where she entered as the two-time defending champion, the 38-year-old Sorenstam walks away from golf with 72 LPGA Tour wins and 10 major championships.

Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion, stands at five-under-par 211 after three rounds of her last event before stepping away from the game.

Monke carded her second four-under 68 of the week and stands at nine-under-par 207 after 54 holes. She is two strokes clear of the field.

Sorenstam, who is stepping away from the game after this event, completed 36 holes at eight-under-par 136. That was good for a one-stroke lead.

Nikki Garrett also fired a 66 and is one stroke back at minus-seven.

Sorenstam, who is stepping away from the game after this event, is tied for sixth place with 10 other players.

Head opened with a six-under 66 and is two strokes clear of Anja Monke, who won the Open de France Dames the final week of September.

Lorena Ochoa once again held down the top spot and was trailed by Yani Tseng, Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, Suzann Pettersen, Ji-Yai Shin, Cristie Kerr, Helen Alfredsson, Angela Stanford and Karrie Webb.

The next 10 were again headed by Seon-Hwa Lee, who was followed by Yuri Fudoh, Jeong Jang, Momoko Ueda, Jee Young Lee, Maria Hjorth, Eun-Hee Ji, Hee- Won Han, Morgan Pressel and Karen Stupples.

Lewis completed the five-round event at 18-under-par 342 to earn medalist honors by three strokes.

Among the 20 graduates was Michelle Wie, who stumbled to a two-over 74 in the final round.

Wie, 19 and seeking an LPGA Tour card for the first time, stood at 14-under 274 heading into the fifth and final round. Sitting a comfortable nine shots out of the last qualifying position, nothing short of a historic collapse will keep Wie from earning that card on Sunday.

Lewis, meanwhile, fired a five-under 67 on Saturday and took a one-shot lead over Wie at 15-under 273.

Fankhauser stood at 12-under-par 204 for a one-stroke lead over Shiho Oyama (71) and a two-shot cushion on Wie (72) and Stacy Lewis (71).

Wie, following a 65 on Thursday that was her lowest round in more than three years, shared the overnight lead with Oyama but managed only an even-par score.

Wie's 65 was her lowest round in competition since the second round of the 2005 Samsung World Championship.

She finished 36 holes at 10-under 134 and was joined in first by overnight leader Shiho Oyama, who posted a two-under 70 in the second round.

Amateur Mika Miyazato shot a six-under 66 and is alone in second.

Mollie Fankhauser and Amy Yang are knotted in third place at minus-five, while Jeehae Lee is alone in fourth place at four-under 68.

Lorena Ochoa remained a solid No. 1 and was followed by Yani Tseng, Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, Suzann Pettersen, Ji-Yai Shin, Cristie Kerr, Helen Alfredsson, Angela Stanford and Karrie Webb to round out the top 10 Seon-Hwa Lee heads the second 10 and she was trailed by Yuri Fudoh, Jeong Jang, Momoko Ueda, Jee Young Lee, Maria Hjorth, Eun-Hee Ji, Hee-Won Han, Morgan Pressel and Karen Stupples.

The only movement in the top 30 was Juli Inkster dropping two places to 26th and In Kyung Kim and Candie Kung inching up one spot apiece to 24 and 25.

Sorenstam, the International team captain, defeated Asian team captain Se Ri Pak, 3 & 2, as the International team won the Lexus Cup, 12 1/2 - 11 1/2, on Sunday.

"There is nothing like a team event and when you pull it all together, the atmosphere and camaraderie is one of a kind," Sorenstam said. "It's great to finish on a high like this." Sorenstam is slated to play one more event in Dubai before stepping away from the game.

Suzann Pettersen and Annika Sorenstam, the International team captain, rallied from a 2-down deficit to secure a 1-up win over Eun-Hee Ji and Inbee Park in the first match.

Cristie Kerr and Helen Alfredsson combined to birdie the final four holes Saturday to collect a 2-up win over Asian captain Se Ri Pak and Seon Hwa Lee.

Both captains lost in Friday's alternate-shot format.

International leader Annika Sorenstam, playing in what is expected to be her final LPGA Tour sanctioned event, teamed with one of the hottest players in the world, Angela Stanford, in losing to the Asian duo of Jeong Jang and Candie Kung, 3 & 2.

Tseng also clinched the Rookie of the Year award when Na Yeon Choi missed the Friday cut at the ADT Championship.

Lorena Ochoa remained the world No. 1 by more than seven average points.

Webb birdied the 18th to finish one back at minus-one at Trump International Golf Club.

With the shootout format of this event, scores were re-set after the second and third rounds. Eun-Hee Ji and Webb advanced to Sunday after besting Sun Young Yoo in a one-hole playoff Saturday.

Before the third round, the field was cut to the top 16 and scores were reset. After Saturday's round, the top eight from the third round moved to Sunday's final round when the scores will be reset once again.

It sets up a one-round shootout for a $1 million first-place check.

Hull completed 36 holes at five-under-par 139.

However, the big story was Annika Sorenstam's Hall of Fame career coming to a close as she missed the cut by two strokes.

Hull collected her first win earlier this season at the Canadian Women's Open.

In-Kyung Kim, the Longs Drugs Challenge winner, and Ji-Yai Shin, who won twice this season including her first major title at the Women's British Open, share second place at minus-three at Trump International Golf Club.

Bivens on Wednesday and there is plenty of change coming next year.

The tour released the dates of 31 official events, down from 34 in 2008, and the Solheim Cup. Several unofficial events will have their dates released at a later time. Players will compete for nearly $55 million in official money in '09.

Sorenstam moved up one position this week, bumping Yani Tseng to No. 3 and pulling into the second spot behind the top-ranked Ochoa. All three will play in the season-ending ADT Championship this week, when Sorenstam will make her final appearance on the LPGA Tour ahead of her scheduled retirement at the end of the year.

Paula Creamer moved up a spot to No.

Stanford, who has posted five straight top-five finishes, completed her third LPGA Tour win at 13-under-par 275.

"It was a great day, you couldn't ask for anything more to be at Lorena's tournament and playing with Annika in the final round. That's just pretty special," said Stanford, who collected $200,000 for the win.

Stanford, the second-round leader, finished 54 holes at 10-under 206 at Guadalajara Country Club and is one shot ahead of Annika Sorenstam in her second-to-last event on the LPGA Tour.

Sorenstam fired a five-under 67 and is in the clubhouse at minus-nine. The Swede is trying to get one more win before she calls it a career next week after the ADT Championship.
