NAPLES, Florida — Jin Young Ko, the No. 1 player in the world, put an emphatic capper on her truncated year by shooting a final-round 6-under 66 and winning the CME Group Tour Championship by five strokes.
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., was 1-under for the day, and 10-under for the tournament, to finish eight strokes back of Ko in a tie for seventh.
Henderson finishes the season ranked No. 6 in the world.
“Nice to end the 2020 LPGA season on a high note and a top-7 finish,” the Canadian said in a Twitter post.
Hamilton’s Alena Sharp shot a blistering 8-under 64 [in the final round] — the lowest round of the tournament — to finish 1-over for the tournament.
