That opened the door for Worley and the 50 points she earned for placing fourth to end atop the giant slalom standings. Shiffrin ends the season with the biggest prize in the sport – the overall World Cup title she sealed Thursday at the World Cup Finals meeting in the French Alps. Petra Vlhova, who lost her overall title to Shiffrin this week, was third Sunday, 0.37 back.
