World No.3 Lydia ko has celebrated a successful week with another top 10 finish on the LPGA Tour.

The 17-year-old, who earlier this week was named as the youngest winner of the LPGA Rookie of the Year award, finished in a share of ninth place at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.

The four-time LPGA Tour winner had rounds of 68, 69, 74 and 72 to finish on a five-under par total, 10 shots back from Shanshan Feng (China) and Christina Kim (USA) before Kim prevailed in the playoff.

The former NZ Women's Open Champion, who remains in third positon on the CME Money-List, has now recorded two victories, two runner-ups, and 10 additional top-10 finishes in her dream rookie season in 2014.
