(Reuters) - American Danielle Kang overcame flailing nerves to fire a three-under-par 69 in the final round and claim the inaugural LPGA Shanghai title by two-strokes on Sunday.

Kang, who started the final day one shot off the lead, failed to make any gains on the front nine and dropped a shot at the par-five fourth hole.
