DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Thailand's Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong won the Symetra Tour Championship on Sunday, and Brianna Do finished second in the season-ending event to earn an LPGA Tour card.

The 18-year-old Santiwiwatthanaphong birdied the par-5 18th for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke victory.

''I'm very happy to win this tournament,'' Santiwiwatthanaphong said. ''It means a lot to win the last event and win my first event in the United States.''

She had a 14-under 274 total on LPGA International's Jones Course and earned $22,500 to finish 20th on the money list with $40,614. The top 10 on the money list earned LPGA Tour cards.
