CME Group Tour Championship final leaderboard https://www.lpga.com/leaderboard
Brooke Henderson did her best 68 67 71 67 -15 5th but when the rest of the world challenged it was yet another South Korean, Sei Young Kim who drilled a curling 20 foot birdie putt on the 18th to win her 10th LPGA event hitting the jackpot with the Tour Championship and the Race to CME Globe...
She shot 65 67 68 70 -18 worth $1.5m...England's Charley Hull shot 66 66 over the weekend to finish 2nd at -17.
This was Brooke's 13th top 10 to go with two wins. Her $176,000 payday brings her terrific 2019 earnings to nearly $1.17 million.
" It was a good round. I got off to a good start with 3 birdies on the front nine, would have liked a few more on the back but a bogey free 67, I'm really happy "
Alena Sharp (72) finished T29 to cap her best year as a pro.
On a sad note for many who follow the LPGA. Lydia Ko who just a few years ago was the best player in the world on either tour finished this season T53, 73 70 74 75 +4. The game is full of players who have fallen, another reminder of the old adage, "the toughest course is the one between your ears"
I hope Lydia garners inspiration from Brendan Todd who dropped below 2000th in the world, who's head was so messed up he got the yips so bad he couldn't swing the club properly.
He persevered and has gone W,W, 4th in his last 3 events.
