Final flurry not enough

AUSSIE Minjee Lee fired a 67 to finish third in the LPGA event in Indianapolis, behind winner Lexi Thompson and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko.

Thompson pulled away from Ko yesterday to win the inaugural Indy Women in Tech Championship for her second victory of the year and her ninth career LPGA Tour title.

Tied with Ko entering the final round at Brickyard Crossing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Thompson closed with a four-under 68 for a four-stroke victory over Ko.
