New Zealand golfer Lydia Ko has officially finished 2020 winless on the LPGA Tour, after tying for fifth at the CME Group Championship in Florida.
Going into Monday’s (NZ time) final round, Ko needed something miraculous to end her 32-month winless streak, sitting five shots back off the pace in a four-way tie for ninth.
But, despite a blemish-free three-under 69, she was only able to get within three strokes of the lead, and in the end finished seven back, as namesake Jin Young Ko powered home over the back nine to claim victory.

World number one Ko Jin-young pulled away from second-ranked Kim Sei-young with five back-nine birdies Sunday to win the LPGA's season-ending Tour Championship by five strokes.
Ko, who was playing just her fourth LPGA event of the pandemic-disrupted season, had only squeezed into the elite field with a tie for second on Monday at the US Women's Open.
But the 25-year-old South Korean made the most of her opportunity, firing seven birdies in her six-under par 66 at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida.
She rolled in a final birdie at the 72nd hole for an 18-under total of 270 and a convincing win over Kim and Australian Hannah Green, who shared second on 275.
