CELINE BOUTIER

Jennifer Kupcho took the last victory leap into Poppie’s Pond, ending the tournament best known as the Dinah Shore’s half-century run at Mission Hills.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen became the first Danish player to win an LPGA Tour title after a dramatic second-hole playoff victory over Lin Xiyu of China at the Honda LPGA Thailand on Sunday.

Celine Boutier of France had the low round Saturday of 69 —arguably the best round of the young LPGA season — and climbed into contention. The 24-year-old Ko is seeking her 17th LPGA Tour title, having won her first when she was only 15. But Ko won last season again (Lotte Championship) and is carrying renewed confidence, climbing back to No. “I played really solid and I played really consistently, especially in the back half of my season last year. Kang won the season-opening Tournament of Champions last week with a 69-68 weekend in tough, cold conditions.

Lydia Ko is passing every test at the Gainbridge LPGA.

Jin Young Ko delivered her best performance against her toughest opponent.

The LPGA is poised for a blockbuster finish to the season.

For so much of the wind-blown second round, a dozen or so players were separated by one shot at Tiburon Golf Club. That included Nelly Korda and Jin Young Ko, four-time winners this year in a battle for LPGA player of the year. Over the final two hours, Boutier left them all in her wake in the chase for the $1.5 million prize. Much like the way she finished her round, Boutier is all about the big finish. I changed my putter in September and since then,” she said, pausing to smile, “it's gotten better.”Boutier's 66 matched the low score of the second round.

Jin Young Ko won another tournament and tied a record held by Annika Soresntam.

Jin Young Ko had a three-stroke lead with four holes left Friday when second-round play in the LPGA Tour’s Cognizant Founders Cup was suspended because of darkness.

One week after Jin Young Ko lost a chance to win on the LPGA Tour, the South Korean star is right back at it.

Europe has retained the Solheim Cup.

Defending champion Europe rode a dominant performance in the alternate-shot format to surge to a 5 1/2-2 1/2 lead at the Solheim Cup.

Stacy Lewis is going home to Ohio for the Solheim Cup.

Matilda Castren shot a 5-under 66 after a six-hour storm delay Friday to take the lead in the suspended second round of the Volunteers of America Classic.

Lizette Salas and Nelly Korda are tied for the lead going into the final round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

She just needed a different club, though it worked out perfectly for her Friday in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. That carried her to an 8-under 64 and a one-shot lead midway through the second round. That gave her a one-shot lead over Madelene Sagstrom (68), with Charley Hull another shot behind after a 71. She felt loose with her irons, found a swing key on the range — swing through the ball instead of hanging back — before she teed off in the second round. At 229 yards, it became one of the easiest holes of the second round.

Nelly Korda could see there were low scores at Atlanta Athletic Club.

White’s father was a stickler for the rules, and White thought he knew them well when he decided to join the PGA Tour. His most memorable ruling was among the more famous on the PGA Tour. Also, Mike Peterson, Pete Lis and Jordan Harris are moving from the Korn Ferry Tour to the PGA Tour as rules officials. The tour said that became the top-performing tweet for the PGA Tour, also surpassing the Masters graphic. Im then finished out his year by flying to Dubai for the DP World Tour Championship on the European Tour.

The LPGA Tour stays in northeast Ohio next week for the Marathon Classic.
