PRIDDIS, Alberta -- An incredible rise to the top of women's golf. A spectacular comeback for her first major championship. For someone accused of lacking personality, Karrie Webb's golf has been a thrill a minute.
Stealing some of the thunder from Juli Inkster's season, Webb charged from five strokes behind to win the du Maurier Classic on Sunday by making birdies on four of the last five holes.
``I don't ever try to think of myself as the best player in the world, but I played like I was today,'' said Webb, who closed with her second straight 6-under 66 for a two-stroke victory over Laura Davies.
