It was a good Sunday for Jin Young Kim.
The world’s No. 1-ranked player won the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, the largest check on the LPGA Tour ($1.1 million) and the money title (in just four starts).
Ko shot 6-under 66 in the final round at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, to defeat overnight leader Sei Young Kim (72) and Hannah Green (67) by five shots, at 18 under par.
Kim began the day with a one-shot lead over Ko, but the two were tied at the turn. That’s when Ko took control.
After a Kim bogey at the 11th, Ko went two up with a birdie at No.
