GOLF:Boutier charges to LPGA Tour victory in New Jersey

France's Celine Boutier has rallied from a four-shot deficit on Sunday, shooting a five-under 66 for a one-shot victory over Thailand's Arpichaya Yubol as she won the ShopRite LPGA for a second time.

Yubol, who was penalised one shot in the second round on Saturday for going over her maximum time, birdied the last two holes for a 66 - just shy of Boutier's nine-under winning total for the 54-hole tournament.

Soo Bin Joo, the 22-year-old South Korean going for her first LPGA Tour title, lost her overnight four-shot lead at the turn as she stumbled to a 73 and share of fourth place.

Boutier finished the front nine with two straight birdies to reach 7 under, and that gave her a share of the lead when Joo made bogey on the par-4 eighth.
