Winners all around in LPGA

NAPLES — Cristie Kerr was the player of the week. Lydia Ko was the player of the year and pocketed another $1 million bonus. Inbee Park will be among the players of all time. One tournament, three women celebrating. And just as the LPGA Tour intended, the season finale was dramatic until the end.

Kerr won the seasonending CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday in southwest Florida, taking the lead for good with a 12-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th and soon wrapping up her 18th career win.

Ko, 18, became the fourth player to go from rookie-ofthe-year one year to player-of-the-year the next. The others: Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel and Annika Sorenstam.

Ko won the $1 million bonus for winning the Race to the CME Globe, just as she did last year.

And Mount Dora Bible alum Park wrapped up a trip to the LPGA Hall of Fame by winning the scoring title, meaning the only step that now remains between her and induction is completing her 10th season on tour next year.

Kerr shot a 4-under 68 and finished at 17-under 271, one shot better than Gerina Piller and Ha Na Jang.

Kisner gets 1st

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Kevin Kisner ended a year marked by secondplace finishes with his first PGA Tour victory in the RSM Classic at Sea Island.

Staked to a three-shot lead going into the final round of the final tournament of the year, Kisner breezed home with a 6-under 64 to win by six shots over Kevin Chappell.

McIlroy wins

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Rory McIlroy won the season-ending DP World Tour Championship and the Race to Dubai for a $3,208,300 payday.

The third-ranked Northern Irishman shot a 6-under 66 for a one-stroke victory over England’s Any Sullivan.
