"After that match, I had a lot of confidence," Lee said.

Miyazato earned $300,000 for her best LPGA Tour finish. She beat No. 40 Maria Hjorth 3 and 2 in the morning semifinals.

"Ai's a very good player," Lee said. "I enjoyed playing with her."

In the third-place match, Kim birdied the par-5 18th to beat Hjorth 2-up.

"I woke up in the morning sore in my back," Kim said. "I don't know what happened. ... I didn't play good in the morning. Then after that, after lunchtime, I take some kind of pill and that helping a little bit."

Kim made $200,000, while Hjorth earned $150,000.

Divots: The tournament moved to historic Wykagyl, the site of an LPGA Tour stroke-play event from 1990-2006, this year after two seasons at Hamilton Farm in New Jersey. "It's a beautiful course and well designed for this format," said Paul Lawrence, the CEO of HSBC Bank in the United States. "This is a great location, with the close proximity to New York City." ... The tour will be in Europe the next two weeks for the Evian Masters in France and the Women's British Open at St. Andrews.
