NAPLES, Fla. – The LPGA rolled into Tiburon Golf Club riding some serious momentum. No, we’re not talking about Lamborghinis but rather the thrilling finish that saw Nelly Korda birdied the final hole twice, the second for a playoff victory over Lexi Thompson, Sei Young Kim and Lydia Ko.
Lost in the excitement, though, was Jennifer Kupcho.
After playing her way into the final threesome on Sunday in Belleair, Florida, the 24-year-old Kupcho closed in 7-over 77 to tie for 22nd and finish nine shots out of the playoff.
“I mean, that's golf,” Kupcho said Thursday at the LPGA season finale, the CME Group Tour Championship.
