Golf: Ko in top 10 finish

World number one amateur Lydia Ko had a strong final round to finish tied for seventh at the Marathon Classic in Ohio today.

The 16-year-old fired a 3-under 68 in the fourth round to finish eight shots behind the winner Beatriz Recari of Spain.

The result continues a phenomenal season in 2013 for Ko. She has finished in the top-five on five occasions and in the top-10 on seven occasions as she backs up her incredible season in 2012.

Her next tournament is the women' British Open in Fife, Scotland at the start of next month. Ko was the leading amateur and tied for 17th at last year's tournament.
