Lydia Ko has made a fine start to her defence of the LPGA season title with a top 10 finish at the LPGA Thailand, her opening event of the season.
The Kiwi shot a final round 69 to finish at 16-under in a share of sixth. It’s her fourth straight top 10 finish in a stretch that includes two victories.
American Lilia Vu rode a hot putter to claim her maiden LPGA crown with a one-shot victory over home favorite Natthakritta Vongtaveelap .
Trailing the local rookie by six strokes at the start of the day, 25-year-old Vu unleashed eight impressive birdies, including five straight from the eighth hole to end her campaign with an immaculate round of 8-under 64 for a 22-under 266 total at Siam Country Club Old Course.
