Naples (Florida), Nov 25 (AP) Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand made up a two-shot deficit with two holes to play with an eagle-birdie finish for a 7-under 65, giving her a one-shot victory over Angel Yin and the $4 million prize — the richest in women's golf — at the CME Group Tour Championship.
    Yin had a two-shot lead walking to the 17th tee only to wind up settling for the $1 million check as runner-up after closing with a 66.
    The win and the massive check came down to the 18th hole, Thitikul and Yin tied at 21-under par after the Thai's key eagle. Yin hit her approach to 15 feet and narrowly missed her birdie try, leaving Thitikul to make her winner. It was the second straight day Thitikul finished eagle-birdie.
    Lydia Ko closed with a 63 to finish third. Nelly Korda, who ends her season with seven wins, had a 66 and tied for fifth. AP
