Ariya Jutanigarn knocked in a 23 foot birdie on the final hole to win the CME Group LPGA Tour Championship by a shot over Lexi Thompson and Jessica Korda. Thompson missed a less-than-two-foot par putt on the 18th that would have forced a playoff.
Ariya won the tournament, but Lexi won the Race to the CME Globe and the million dollar bonus. Sung Hyun Park and So Yeon Ryu tied for Rolex Player of the Year with 162 points each. Go to LPGA.com to get the full story of who won what.
