NAPLES, Fla. (AP) -- Ariya Jutanugarn had a relaxing walk up the last fairway of the season, knowing that the LPGA's biggest year-end prizes were finally hers. The drama was left for everyone else.
Jutanugarn wrapped up her season by finishing tied for fourth Sunday at the CME Group Tour Championship, clinching the season-long Race to CME Globe points competition and its $1 million bonus. She also won player of the year for the first time, meaning she supplanted Lydia Ko as both the Globe winner and the year's top player.
Ko would have been player of the year with a win Sunday.
