South Korea's Pak Se-ri won the First Union Betsy King Classic in Kutztown, Pennsylvania after she birdied the final four holes Sunday (local time) for a final round nine-under-par 63 and a three-stroke victory. The 24-year-old star matched the course record of 63 set by Tina Barrett in 2000, and broke the tournament record of 18-under 270 set by Annika Sorenstam in 1996 with a 21-under 267. Pak's win marks her 16th-career victory and third title this season. The $180,000 dollar winner's check places her second on the 2002 US-LPGA Money List with $1,112,802 dollars. Pak, who started the final round three strokes behind Australia's Michelle Ellis, also had the best 72-hole score on the tour this year, topping Sorenstam's 19 under in the Evian Masters.
