Ariya takes $1m LPGA season prize as Thompson wins Season Finale
American Lexi Thompson won the LPGA's season-ending Tour Championship on Sunday, easing memories of a heartbreaking 2017 near-miss, while Thailand's top-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn captured the $1 million season points bonus prize.
Thompson fired a two-under-par 70 to finish 72 holes at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, on 18-under 270 and beat compatriot Nelly Korda by four strokes. "It's very gratifying," Thompson said, "This is a special event for me growing up in Florida. It was so special to win in front of my family and friends."
The last-chance victory extended Thompson's streak to six consecutive LPGA seasons with at least one triumph. "This year has been very up and down but to end it like this is very special," Thompson said as she accepted the $500,000 winner's prize.
