World number eight Lexi Thompson fired a final round of 69 (-3) to win the individual title at the Aramco Team Series \u2013 New York by three shots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Major winner began the day with a one-shot lead over compatriot Nelly Korda and started brightly with a birdie on the first.<\/p>\n

Thompson then dropped a shot at the third but bounced back with a birdie on the next hole before making another bogey on the ninth.<\/p>\n

However, back-to-back birdies on 10 and 11 put the Solheim Cup star in control once again before birdies on 15 and 17, and even a bogey on the last couldn\u2019t spoil the party as she clinched a three-shot victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been working extremely hard on my game,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt like it was a matter of time, but I just wanted to play golf and put myself in contention in the final rounds and learn from the losses that I had and what I needed to work on, and I brought that into today.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I just the way I played yesterday with aggressive golf, and kind of fiery. I hit a great shot on number one to six or seven feet and made it. I wanted to play fearless golf and not play away from pins by any means and commit to my shots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hit some really good ones and I hit some iffy ones but with this wind, you have to take the bad ones as best you can. I turned it on on the back and really made the putts when I needed to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Brooke Henderson and Sweden\u2019s Madelene Sagstr\u00f6m finished in a tie for second place on eight-under-par at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point.<\/p>\n

Henderson, who won her second Major at the 2022 Amundi Evian Championship in the summer, produced a final round of 68 (-4) with five birdies and one bogey on her scorecard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I was just trying to make some birdies and climb as much as I could,\u201d said the Canadian star. \u201cI was happy to shoot four-under out there, it was windy. I’m happy for Lexi. It will be a big win.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the front nine, I was like, man, I really need to get going here and shooting four-under on the back was really nice and that long putt on 14 really kept the momentum rolling and I was able to back it up on the par-five on the next hole and made birdie there. I’m happy with the way I finished, overall, it was a good day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like my game is in a good spot which is exciting leading into the rest of the LPGA season in a few weeks and hopefully I can finish strong because it’s been a really fun year.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Sagstr\u00f6m, who was part of the winning Team Europe at the 2021 Solheim Cup, carded a round of 69 (-3) with two bogeys and five birdies on the final day to be T2.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all come out here to try and win,\u201d said the Swede. \u201cThat’s what the mindset was coming in for the week. I haven’t really been in this kind of situation for a while, so it’s nice to be back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt really comfortable all day. I knew I had a shot there going into the back nine, but I couldn’t really pull it off. It’s always good when you put yourself in that situation. You can learn so much. To learn to win, you have to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olympic champion Nelly Korda finished in fourth place on seven-under-par with a round of level par on the final day in New York.<\/p>\n

Scotland\u2019s Kylie Henry produced the joint-best round of the day with a 67 (-5) to finish in a share of fifth place alongside Sweden\u2019s Maja Stark on six-under.<\/p>\n

Four players rounded out the top 10 with Swedish duo Linnea Str\u00f6m and Jessica Karlsson, England\u2019s Annabel Dimmock and Dutch star Anne Van Dam all on four-under-par.<\/p>\n

In the 2022 Race to Costa del Sol<\/a>, Sweden\u2019s Linn Grant continues to lead the standings with 3,394.91 points but compatriot Stark<\/a> has closed the gap significantly and is now only 69.77 points behind.<\/p>\n

The rest of the top ten stays the same with Sweden\u2019s Johanna Gustavsson in third, Belgium\u2019s Manon De Roey in fourth and Argentina\u2019s Magdalena Simmermacher in fifth.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Meghan MacLaren remains in sixth, Spain\u2019s Ana Pel\u00e1ez Trivino is seventh and South African Lee-Anne Pace is eighth with English duo Georgia Hall and Liz Young completing the top ten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
