Lexi Thompson wins LPGA finale, while Ariya Jutanugarn claims Race to CME Globe

NAPLES, Fla. -- Lexi Thompson was the best this week, and Ariya Jutanugarn was the best all season.

Neither left any doubt about that Sunday.

Thompson shot a final-round 70 to finish at 18-under 270 and win the LPGA's season-ending CME Group Tour Championship by four strokes over Nelly Korda. The win makes this the sixth consecutive year that Thompson has won at least once, extending the longest such active streak on the LPGA Tour.

"It's very gratifying," Thompson said. "This is such a special event for me in general, growing up in Florida. ... It was just very gratifying.
