Pat Hurst, in a big boost for next weekend's Solheim Cup, won the LPGA State Farm Classic on Sunday with a three-shot victory over defending champion Cristie Kerr. Hurst ran off birdies on her first five holes, then overcame a shaky back nine on her way to a 2-under-par 70 to finish at 17 under. It was the fourth career victory for the 1995 LPGA rookie of the year. Hurst was five shots up after 11 holes, but dropped three strokes on her next two holes with a double bogey and bogey.
