What happened at the 2002 Weetabix Women's British Open

Starting three shots behind 54-hole leader Carin Koch, Karrie Webb birdied the 3rd, 5th and 6th and holed a 15-foot birdie putt at the 12th to move clear on her way to a closing 66.

With her group put on the clock on the 16th tee, Webb flew the green but holed a 30-foot putt to save par, a putt she later called a big key to the win.
