Golf: Jin Young Ko wins CME Group Tour Championship

Jin Young Ko, the No. 1 player in the world, shot a final-round 6-under 66 to win the CME Group Tour Championship by five strokes over Hannah Green and Sei Young Kim. With a birdie on the final hole, the LPGA's final putt of the season, Ko finished at 18 under for her seventh career LPGA win. Green’s final-round 67 - on her 24th birthday - helped push her into the second-place tie. Kim, who took a one-shot lead into the final round, shot 72 and that was good enough for her to clinch Rolex Player of the Year honors. Ko started the final round one shot back of Kim and opened with a birdie. The key stretch was Ko's run of three straight birdies on the 12th through the 14th - her longest such run of the week. She left a chance for a fourth in a row just left of the cup on 15, then all but wrapped up the win with another birdie on the 16th.
