Jin Young Ko dominates to win LPGA Tour season finale

Jin Young Ko capped off her season in style by cruising to a five-stroke victory at the LPGA Tour's season-ending CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ko has only made four starts on the LPGA Tour this season and needed to finish runner-up at last week's US Women's Open in order to qualify for the final event of the year.

The win for Ko secured her seventh LPGA Tour title, as well as a cool $1.1 million prize for winning the season finale.

The World No.1 recovered from a bogey at the 9th with three consecutive birdies from the 12th to take the lead, which was followed up with another birdie at the par-3 16th, before she rolled in her final birdie of the day at the par-5 last to extend her lead.
