(Reuters) - Haru Nomura of Japan survived windy conditions and a mid-round meltdown to claim her second win of the season, a four-shot victory at Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic in San Francisco on Sunday.

Nomura battled her way to a closing 73 to finish at nine-under-par 279, increasing her three-shot overnight lead on the Lake Merced course, but the final round was anything but a cakewalk for the 23-year-old from Yokohama.
