Sweden, the defending champion, made up four strokes on South Africa on Saturday. Caroline Westrup posted a three-under 69 and both Anna Nordqvist and Sofie Andersson shot 75s.
The first tiebreaker is final-round, non-counting score, but both countries were equal with 75s. The next tiebreaker was non-counting score from the third round and South Africa's Simon had a 73 to Andersson's 75. The two best scores from the team count to the country's team score.
Colombia moved up eight places on Saturday with an eight-under 136, the lowest final-round team total in championship history. They finished third at nine- under-par 567.
Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hee-Won Han posted her third consecutive round in the 60s on Sunday to run away with the Honda LPGA Thailand, her sixth career victory and second of the season. Han shot a five-under 67 in the final round, completing the first-ever LPGA event in Thailand at 14-under-par 202 for a five-shot victory over Diana D'Alessio.
It was a surprisingly commanding win for Han, who trailed second-round leader Nicole Castrale by two shots overnight. The first eight holes on Sunday decided everything, with Han collecting five birdies during that stretch while Castrale stumbled to three bogeys.
The trio ended one shot behind D'Alessio, who had a two-under 70 to take solo second place at nine-under-par 207. D'Alessio got off to a poor start, but had three birdies on her back nine.
Han, who won the LPGA Corning Classic in May, was the only player to shoot three sub-70 rounds this weekend at Amata Spring Country Club.
Her birdie at the 17th, from 10 feet out, was her second this week at the 145- yard par-three, Asia's only true island green.
Han claimed $195,000 for the win and moved into eighth on the LPGA Tour money list with more than $1.11 million.
Young Kim (69) and Sherri Turner (71) were one shot further back at 210.
Mallorca, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Niclas Fasth cruised to a two-under 68 Sunday to earn a three-stroke win at the Mallorca Classic. Fasth completed the event at five-under-par 275. It was his fifth career win on tour and second of the season. He was also victorious at the Andalucia Open, which was also played in Spain.

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.
"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."
Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
