LAKE GENEVA, Wis. (AP) Liselotte Neumann shot a 4-under 68 on Sunday for a one-stroke victory over Juli Inkster in the Legends Tour's rain-shortened Red Nose Day Walgreens Charity Championship.

Neumann made a 75-foot eagle putt on the par-5 14th hole and birdied the 15th on Geneva National Resort's Gary Player Course. She has three career victories on the senior tour after winning 13 times on the LPGA Tour.

''I never really looked at the leaderboard,'' said Neumann the Swede who turned 50 on Saturday. ''Juli always plays well and I knew I was one or two shots ahead of her, so I figured any time you're beating Juli Inkster, you are probably in a pretty good position.''

Rain washed out play Saturday.
